Sony Planar T* FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA Lens

Sony Planar T* FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA Overview

Sony Planar T* FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA Lens is easy to see as a go-to standard optic for full-frame E-mount shooters. The 50mm focal length excels as an all-around field of view, suitable for portraiture, landscapes, and more, and the bright design offers a creative depth of field control and low-light performance.

ZEISS Optical Design

• Based on the ZEISS Planar optical concept, this lens uses a design with 12 elements in 9 groups that helps achieve the large maximum aperture of f/1.4 while helping to minimize chromatic aberrations.
• Fast f/1.4 maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and also offers a wealth of control over focus position when using shallow depth of field techniques.
• Rounded eleven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when employing selective focus techniques.
• ZEISS T* anti-reflective coatings have been applied to each lens surface to help minimize reflections in order to provide greater image clarity, contrast, and color fidelity.
• One Advanced Aspherical (AA) and one aspherical element are incorporated into the optical design for effective control over astigmatism, field curvature, coma, and other spherical aberrations.

Autofocus and Handling

• Ring drive Super Sonic wave Motor autofocus system and internal focus mechanism provide quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance and also contribute to more natural, intuitive manual focus control.
• AF/MF switch is located on the lens barrel for tactile control over focus modes.
• The Physical aperture ring can be de-clicked for smooth, silent aperture switching to benefit video applications.
• Dust- and moisture-sealed design better permits working in inclement conditions and rubberized control rings benefit handling in colder temperatures.
