Overview
description
FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA Lens
With its normal perspective, fast maximum aperture, and high-end design, the Planar T* FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA Lens from Sony is easy to see as a go-to standard optic for full-frame E-mount shooters. Starting off with the fast f/1.4 maximum aperture, photographers and videographers will enjoy exceptional low-light performance along with the ability to create shallow depth-of field effects. The Zeiss Planar optical design benefits users by providing an almost distortion-free image, while the incorporation of one Advanced Aspherical, one aspherical, and one extra-low dispersion element work to minimize spherical and chromatic aberrations. On top of that, the legendary Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating combats flare and ghosting for crisp, clear imagery.
Performance is top notch as well with speedy autofocus provided by a ring drive Super Sonic Wave Motor (SSM) system. An AF/MF switch is provided for quickly changing between the modes and an internal focus design maintains overall lens length during use. A physical aperture ring is present on the lens which can be de-clicked at the flip of a switch, making this a great option for video in addition to stills. An eleven-blade circular diaphragm further improves image quality by ensuring smooth bokeh at a wide range of aperture settings. Additionally, a dust and moisture-resistant construction will keep you working even in less than ideal environments.
Based on the Zeiss Planar optical concept, this lens uses a design with 12 elements in 9 groups that helps achieve the large maximum aperture of f/1.4 while helping to minimize chromatic aberrations.
A normal-length prime designed for full-frame E-mount mirrorless cameras, this 50mm f/1.4 is also compatible with APS-C models where it will provide a 75mm equivalent focal length.
Fast f/1.4 maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and also offers a wealth of control over focus position when using shallow depth of field techniques.

From Sonnar to Planar
After 3 years of using the Zeiss 55mm and also getting a Zeiss 35mm 1.4 Planar, I was interested to switch to the 50mm Planar especially since the 35mm was an impressive lens. However, there are a few things I did not like about the 50mm. Weight balance is terrible, lens hood is very flimsy and feels cheap in comparison to the 35mm and also the lens is overpriced. I hope to see a lighter lens design like the 24mm 1.4 GM which is a very good design lens.

BEWARE OF COPY VARIATION AND SONY REPAIR PROCESS
Lens copy had extremely slow autofocus. Now in repair for the third time and still not returned.

The perfect lens
Just rent this lens and try. There is nothing that I can say without look like a Sony ambassador (and I’m not). This lens is optically perfect and it has the magic, what else?

Simply Stunning!!!
Ever since my purchase (January this year), it has become the Best companion in every photo sessions. Portrait/studio, as well as outside and street shots are just stunning!! Light intake is phenomenal, extremely sharp and well balanced. Feels good (with exception of its a bit heavy weight) and looks lovely. I use it with A7II body, ..and it enhances the camera body/look(!). (Do get lots of compliments!) Premium quality. ..and yes, 11 blade makes stunning bokeh.

Too heavy!
I bought this lens and it worked great with Sony A7iii, but returned it because it was too heavy along with the camera. I love Sony cameras...but the lens with bigger aperture are way too big and heavy. Could you make them a bit more portable? Thank you!!

very noisy
i bought this lens, very expensive - the noise of the focusing motor makes it practically impossible to use for video

Great lens
Fast focusing, but locking focus is a little slow at times, Sharp and contrast image. 90% autofocusing efficiency.

Resolution on A7r ii is stunning
Bought this to complement my other prime lenses - the sharpness wide open is amazing. Whilst this is an expensive lens I made the purchase on the basis that it will suite the A7riv when I can afford to buy one.
