Carl Zeiss Planar T* 50mm f/1.4 ZA SSM Lens Review
Handling and features
This standard prime lens for use with Sony A-mount cameras and adapters sports a fast f/1.4 maximum aperture and silent focusing. As this is one of Sony's premium lenses, it carries Carl Zeiss branding and sports their T* anti-reflective coatings as a result. Another by-product of the Carl Zeiss brand is the price, which is around £1290 for this lens. In this review, we'll take a look at how this lens performs and whether the premium price is worth it.
