Sony today
introduced a new full-frame lens for their E-mount camera system, the Planar T*
FE 50mm F1.4 ZA (model SEL50F14Z).
This 50mm
prime lens features a large F1.4 maximum aperture that offers impressive
contrast and outstanding resolution that are hallmarks of the ZEISS® brand. It
produces these consistently strong qualities throughout the entirety of the
frame – from centre to corner – and at all aperture settings, even while
shooting wide open at F1.4. The cutting edge optical structure includes
high-precision AA (Advanced Aspherical) and ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass
elements that reduce spherical and chromatic aberration, as well as a ZEISS® T*
Coating that minimises flare and ghosting, creating the classic ZEISS® clarity.
Additionally, its Planar design ensures minimal distortion.
The large
F1.4 maximum aperture of the FE 50mm F1.4ZA lens provides a level of brightness
and speed that are advantageous for dimly lit indoor shots, night scenes, and
portraits, while its 11-bladed circular aperture allows for stunning ‘bokeh’,
or background defocus, in images. The lens also features an aperture ring with
an adjustable ON/OFF switch, an AF/MF focus mode switch, and a dust and
moisture resistant design[i], further increasing its functionality.
The new
lens is also equipped with a ring drive SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) system,
which allows it to efficiently lock focus with speed, precision and in near
silence, making it particularly useful for shooting movies.
Pricing and Availability
The new FE
50mm F1.4 ZA lens will ship this July and will be available for approximately $1,498.00
