Sony E-Mount Zeiss Planar T* FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA Lens

The Sony E-Mount Zeiss Planar T* FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA Lens is a Full Frame format lens with a 35mm focal length equivalent of 75mm. It also performs well under low-light settings due to its f/1.4 maximum aperture. Constructed with 12 lens elements in 9 groups, it features one Aspherical Lens Element to reduce spherical and chromatic aberration. Meanwhile, the 0.45m minimum focusing distance allows you to zoom in closer to the subject. This Sony camera lens is also equipped with Zeiss T* Anti-Reflective Coating to reduce unwanted reflections. Likewise, smooth and quiet framing is also possible through the Super Sonic Wave Motor System. Precise adjustments is allowed by the Aperture Ring with De-Click Switch. Amazing bokeh effects can also be achieved through the seven-blade circular diaphragm. Compatible with Sony E-Mount Cameras, the Sony E-Mount Zeiss Planar T* FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA Lens has a 72mm filter diameter and is fortified with a dust and moisture resistant finish.

Product Features in Detail

Breathtaking resolution and contrast
A refined double-gauss design incorporating two aspherical elements, including one precision AA (advanced aspherical) element, works with an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element to suppress field curvature and distortion while maintaining outstanding image-wide resolution and contrast from the widest aperture at any focusing distance.

F1.4 for versatility and beautiful bokeh
The F1.4 maximum aperture can be used to create images with shallow depth of field and smooth, beautiful bokeh. A bright maximum aperture like this also makes it possible to shoot at high shutter speeds in low lighting. Of course the lens can be stopped down to create extended depth of field when required.

11 blades for natural bokeh highlights
Although Sony’s circular aperture design usually employs up to 9 blades, this lens incorporates 11 blades that take bokeh quality to new levels of smooth beauty. Natural-looking highlights in the out-of-focus areas enhance overall atmosphere while providing a gentle sense of depth.

Autofocus that supports high resolution
Focus drive is handled by a ring drive SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) system that is capable of positioning the heavy focus group required by large aperture lenses with speed and precision. Fast, accurate focus is essential to bring out the full performance potential of high-resolution camera bodies, whether you’re shooting stills or movies.

Convenient fingertip control
A physical aperture ring allows intuitive aperture control. An aperture click switch makes it possible to enable or disable the aperture ring click stops as required. Moviemakers will want the clicks OFF, while photographers often prefer tactile click feedback. There’s also a focus mode switch for convenient manual/autofocus selection.

Excellent color and contrast
ZEISS lenses are renowned for their outstanding color reproduction and contrast. The ZEISS® T* Coating is an important contributing factor, effectively suppressing spurious reflections that can degrade overall image quality. Flare and ghosting are reduced for enhanced color and contrast, which give images a deep, three-dimensional feel.

Reliable in challenging conditions
A sealed dust and moisture-resistant design provides extra protection and ensures reliable operation in challenging environments. Shoot with confidence in light rain or windy conditions.* *Although the design is dust and moisture-resistant, absolute protection from dust and moisture is not guaranteed.
