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

This lens delivers great results. It is heavy, solid and big. You will love it!

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.

I had my first shoot with this lens, along with my A7III and the images produced are absolutely beautiful. My model was over the moon with them. I would recommend this lens to any portrait photographer, whatever their experience.

I Just Purchased This Prime Lens And Found It To Be Brilliant For Creating Good Bokeh. I Will Be Using It Now For Stills & Video. Feels And Is Well Made

Looks and feels great. Premium quality. Very well ballanvlced on A7rii and amazingly quick and silent focus. 11 blade makes bokeh look stunning. Very sharp and bright. Great contrast. An amust lens for a7rii and a7sii.

This lens is a superb, quality, solid 50mm I use on the A7s3 to film.

BUT, the eye autofocus on this lens is crazy jittery.

I have adjusted all settings on camera but have come to two conclusions.

Either this lens is in dire need of a Firmware upgrade to work with the new AF in the Sony A7s3 or I have a faulty lens, which I need to get tested by Sony.

Lock down has stopped me from doing so but I will once I get the chance.

That problem a side this lens is a solid 50mm!!!

I purchased this lens a few weeks ago, I am not sure yet where this lens sits in my collection, too short for my liking in my studio for portrait work, too long for my commercial property work and too heavy in my opinion for street photography although this is where it excels, it has only had a couple of outings on the street so far and I have been blown away by the quality at all apertures, wide open for candid people shots can yield very good results with pleasing bokeh.

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