ZEISS Loxia 50mm f/2 Planar T* Lens for Sony E Mount, Black

The Zeiss Loxia 50mm f/2 Planar T Lens is a versatile normal lens designed for use with full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless digital cameras. With a 50mm prime focal length, it closely represents the perspective seen with the human eye, making it well-suited for portraiture, landscapes, travel, street photography, and more. When paired with an APS-C sensor camera, the equivalent focal length is 75mm.

The fast f/2 maximum aperture of the Loxia 50mm helps capture clearer pictures in low light situations. The lens features an engraved manual aperture ring that can be "de-clicked" for smooth and quiet operation, especially useful when recording video. The aperture can be adjusted in 1/2 stop increments, ranging from the minimum f/2 to the maximum f/22.

Zeiss T Lenses possess anti-reflective coatings on the lens elements, ensuring excellent color reproduction, clarity, and contrast. The all-metal construction protects against moisture and dust, contributing to the overall durability of the lens.

The Loxia 50mm boasts a high-quality focusing mechanism for maximum precision in manual focus. Its Planar optical design compensates and corrects distortion throughout the focal range, resulting in dramatic perspectives and a view from extraordinary image angles. The large rotation angle of the focusing mechanism enables precise focusing, supported by the lens' smooth, high-quality focus ring.

Compact and lightweight, the Loxia 50mm measures 2.44" x 2.33" and weighs approximately 11.30 oz. It has a minimum focusing distance of 45 cm, making it a versatile choice for a variety of photographic applications.

The DECLICK FEATURE of the Loxia lenses allows users to smoothly eliminate any unwanted differences in brightness when panning the camera, making it particularly useful for video applications. This feature is enabled by using a supplied tool and an adjustment screw on the bayonet surface to declick the locking mechanism.

The ZEISS Loxia lenses are suitable for use with the mirrorless Sony Alpha cameras with E-mount and were optimized for sensors up to full 35 mm format (24 x 36 mm). With the Loxia lenses, the aperture is controlled manually, providing photographers with precise control over their creative vision.

The high-grade full-metal casing of the Loxia 50mm is a testament to its tangible quality and durability. The precision-engineered construction, including grippy focus and aperture rings made of metal, guarantees stunning photographic results that will hold their value for decades of use.

In summary, the Zeiss Loxia 50mm f/2 Planar T Lens is a versatile and high-quality normal lens that offers exceptional optical performance, manual control, and built-to-last construction, making it a compelling choice for Sony E-mount mirrorless photographers.
