SEL50F18 has OSS (Optical SteadyShot) - optical stabilization. SEL50F18F designed for full-frame cameras and it doesn't have OSS because Sony's full-frame cameras have 5-axis image stabilization on sensor. If you need stabilization (like for videos) it's better to have SEL50F18. I don't need it, so I bought SEL50F18F for my APS-C Sony a5000. It works great.
