Overview

The Sony FE 55mm f/1.8 ZA Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* Lens delivers exceptional performance with a blend of advanced technology from Sony and ZEISS.

Key Features

Fast f/1.8 Aperture

• Broad Creative Control: The large f/1.8 maximum aperture provides excellent low-light performance and allows for creative control over depth of field. This makes it ideal for isolating subjects with a beautifully blurred background, enhancing depth and dimension in your images.
• Smooth Bokeh: The 9 circular aperture blades contribute to a smooth, creamy bokeh effect, ensuring that your foreground subjects stand out against a pleasingly defocused background.

Precision Optical Design

• Aspherical Elements: The lens incorporates three aspherical elements that minimise various forms of optical aberration, ensuring sharpness and contrast across the entire frame.
• ZEISS T Coating*: This advanced coating reduces flare and ghosting, resulting in improved colour rendition and contrast for more vibrant and clear images.

Built for Reliability

• Weather-Sealed Construction: The lens is weather-sealed, allowing you to shoot with confidence in challenging conditions. This durability ensures that the lens performs reliably whether you’re in the field or shooting in less-than-ideal weather.
