Sony Zeiss Planar T* FE 50mm F1.4 ZA

 

The Sony Zeiss Planar T* FE 50mm F1.4 ZA lens captures incredibly sharp images with no distortion, even when working at f/1.4.

Superb sharpness. No distortion. Solid, weather-sealed build. Physical aperture control. Bright f/1.4 aperture.

Pricey. Omits optical stabilization. Dim corners at wide apertures. Heavy.

For full-frame Sony mirrorless photographers that want the best standard-angle prime for the system, the Sony Zeiss Planar T* FE 50mm F1.4 ZA is an easy choice, as long as you have the money. It's incredibly sharp, well made, and has a bright aperture...

Sony Planar T* FE 50mm F1.4 ZA Review

 

The Sony Planar T* FE 50mm F1.4 ZA is a very fast, extremely well-built "standard" lens for Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras that delivers excellent image quality. It is big and heavy and also costs a lot, though, so you may want to consider some of...

Sony 50mm f/1.4 review

 

What this budget prime might lack in acronyms is more than made up for in overall image quality as this WDC review of the Sony 50mm f/1.4 lens discovers.

Great real-world results

AF is noisy and non-IF

Ignore the lack of acronyms and look at its performance instead: Sony's f/1.4 has some weaknesses but elsewhere it's a real cracker.
