The Sony Planar T* FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA Lens is a high-performance prime lens designed for full-frame E-mount cameras, delivering impressive image quality with a fast f/1.4 aperture and ZEISS optical engineering. This versatile lens offers a classic 50mm focal length, making it a go-to optic for a wide range of photography styles, including portraiture, landscapes, and street photography.
The lens features a 12-element in 9-group construction, based on the ZEISS Planar optical design, which helps minimize chromatic aberrations while maximizing sharpness and clarity. The large f/1.4 maximum aperture ensures excellent low-light performance and allows photographers to achieve a beautifully shallow depth of field, perfect for creative control over subject isolation and background blur. A rounded eleven-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth, pleasing bokeh, adding an extra layer of aesthetic appeal.
The autofocus system is powered by Sony’s Ring Drive Super Sonic Wave Motor (SSM), providing fast, quiet, and precise autofocus, ideal for both stills and video work. Additionally, the internal focus mechanism enhances the lens’s handling and allows for intuitive manual focus adjustments.
The physical aperture ring is de-clickable, enabling smooth, silent transitions for video applications. The lens is also designed with weather-sealing, providing dust and moisture resistance for reliable performance in challenging environments. With a combination of superb optics, swift autofocus, and robust build quality, the Sony Planar T* FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA Lens is a perfect choice for photographers who demand both performance and versatility from their lenses.
