The lineup of "fifty dollars" for Sony mirrorless cameras has several different instances. The top of the range is the Sony ZEISS Planar T* FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA lens, which is compatible with both cropped and full-frame cameras from the Japanese manufacturer.

Optical design

As you can see from the name of the model, the design of the fixed lens is based on the Planar optical scheme, which originated at the end of the 19th century. Only she was adapted to modern realities and got as many as 12 elements in 9 groups. The combination of a metal body and numerous elements influenced the dimensions and weight of the lens, which turned out to be heavier than the largest full-frame mirrorless camera — the 627-gram Sony Alpha A7S II.

practical rings

It was possible to place two electronically controlled rings on a large body: a wider one is responsible for focus, and a smaller ring closer to the base of the lens is designed to control the aperture. The focus ring has a non-linear course, i.e. maximum focus accuracy can be obtained by turning it smoothly, and coarser by turning it quickly. And the “trick” of the aperture ring is the ability to select operating modes: the first is in the footsteps for photography (in 1/3 stop increments), and the second is smooth switching when shooting video.

High detail

The resolution of the lens is enough to get a clear and sharp frame when shooting at f / 1.4 using the 42-megapixel Sony A7R II camera. However on such an open hole, slight chromatic aberrations and vignetting at the corners of the image can sometimes occur. Parasitic effects disappear almost completely at f/2. The flip side of the medal when shooting wide open is the ability to get neat rounded bokeh, which is formed using an 11-blade aperture.

Backlight

In the marking of the model, you can see the symbol T *. He points to a special front lens coating to combat flare and ghosting. In addition, the lens is equipped with a lens hood, so it easily tolerates backlighting. The fixed price cannot be called democratic, but a priori a product of such a high class cannot cost little. And for those who want to save money, Sony offers several alternatives: the 55mm Sony ZEISS Sonnar T* FE 55mm f/1.8 ZA prime and the affordable fifty-fifty Sony FE 50mm f/1.8.
