Sony Planar T* FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA Lens w/Flashpoint Zoom Li-on X R2 TTL Flash Kit

Explore the world of photography with the Planar T* FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA Lens, a high-performance prime lens that embodies the superior quality and precision of the ZEISS brand. This innovative lens features a large F1.4 maximum aperture, ensuring exceptional low-light performance and enabling control over defocused backgrounds for stunning bokeh effects. The lens's advanced optical design includes 12 elements in 9 groups, with two aspherical elements - a high-precision AA (advanced aspherical) type and an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element. These elements work together to maintain outstanding contrast and resolution, extending right to the image periphery. The ZEISS T* coating on this lens enhances its performance by delivering superior contrast and resolution. This coating, a hallmark of Carl Zeiss's pioneering work in coated optics, virtually eliminates lens flare, internal reflection, and light scattering that can occur at glass-to-air surfaces. The result is high contrast and uniformly excellent resolution across the entire image, even at the edges. The lens's 11-blade circular aperture contributes to the gorgeous bokeh effect, creating a more natural and smoother defocusing. This is achieved by keeping the aperture almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2 stops. The lens also features a Ring Drive SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) for fast, quiet, and precise focusing, an aperture ring with a selectable click ON/OFF switch for tactile feedback, and an AF/MF switch for direct auto/manual focus control. Designed with durability in mind, the lens is dust and moisture resistant, ensuring robust reliability in a wide range of shooting conditions. Whether you're a professional photographer or a passionate hobbyist, the Planar T* FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA Lens offers the versatility and advanced features you need to capture stunning images.
