Sony Carl Zeiss Planar T* FE 50mm 1.4 ZA Review

Sony Carl Zeiss Planar T* FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA lens review

   The optical construction utilizes twelve lenses, including aspherical and AA elements, an ED (extra-low dispersion) element, as well as Carl Zeiss T* anti-reflective lens coatings. This all comes housed in a dust- and moisture-resistant metal lens barrel that weighs 778 grams and is 108mm in length. Other features include an eleven-bladed circular aperture for attractive bokeh; Sony’s SSM (supersonic wave motor) for quick and quiet autofocus; a large manual focus ring with AF/MF switch; internal focusing; and a physical aperture ring with a “de-click” switch for quiet operation during video capture. There’s no lens-based image stabilization system in the Zeiss FE 50mm
