Description

The Zeiss Planar T* 50mm f/1.4 ZE for Canon EF mount is a versatile, high-speed standard prime lens that captures the world with a natural, human-eye perspective. Based on the legendary symmetrical Planar optical design pioneered by Carl Zeiss, this lens features 7 elements in 6 groups, ensuring high resolving power, even illumination, and virtually zero distortion. The exceptionally fast f/1.4 maximum aperture excels in low-light conditions and offers shallow depth of field for stunning subject isolation and creamy, cinematic bokeh. Combined with the renowned Carl Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating, it guarantees brilliant color reproduction, high micro-contrast, and excellent stray light reduction.

While operating as a precision manual focus lens, the ZE version is equipped with electronic contacts for seamless integration with Canon EOS camera systems. This provides automatic aperture control directly from the camera body, comprehensive EXIF data recording, and focus confirmation in the optical viewfinder. The meticulously crafted all-metal brass barrel and silky-smooth focus ring offer unmatched precision, durability, and tactile feedback on set or in the field, making it a favorite among hybrid shooters and cinematographers alike.
