About Sony Sonnar T* FE 55mm f1.8 ZA

With its exceptional Carl Zeiss optics, the Sonnar T* FE 55mm f/1.8 ZA Lens for Sony E-mount cameras is a paragon of high-quality, professional-grade craftsmanship. Designed to elevate the performance of full-frame E-mount bodies such as the Sony Alpha series, this lens is renowned for its superb contrast and resolution. The advanced T* coating technology is meticulously applied to minimize internal reflections, ensuring that from the brightest highlights to the deepest blacks, your images will exhibit sublime contrast and clarity.

The Sonnar concept's large F1.8 maximum aperture not only allows for stunning full-frame background bokeh but also offers versatility with the option to stop down for greater depth-of-field control. This feature is invaluable for photographers looking to capture portraits with a dreamy, out-of-focus background or for those requiring sharp detail throughout the scene. The lens's bright aperture is also a significant advantage in low-light conditions, whether shooting indoors or capturing the ambient atmosphere of twilight landscapes.

Equipped with a linear motor-driven internal focusing mechanism, the lens operates smoothly and quietly, making it ideal for both still photography and videography where noise can be intrusive. The durable construction of the lens includes dust and moisture resistance, ensuring reliable performance even when conditions are less than ideal.

Compact in design yet uncompromising in performance, the Sonnar T* FE 55mm f/1.8 ZA Lens is a versatile choice for full-frame Sony E-mount users. It excels in a variety of photographic assignments, from portraiture to everyday shooting scenarios. The lens's F1.8 maximum aperture not only facilitates exceptional bokeh and background defocus but also contributes to its prowess in low-light situations. The 9-blade circular aperture contributes to a pleasing out-of-focus quality, enhancing the visual appeal of your images.

As a dependable outdoor companion, this lens is compatible with an extensive range of Sony cameras, ensuring that whether you're using the latest Sony Alpha 1 or the classic Sony A7, you'll experience the same reliable performance. The unique T* surface coating is a testament to Zeiss's advanced optical design, which suppresses internal reflections within the lens body, guaranteeing the high-contrast, vibrant imagery that Zeiss lenses are celebrated for.

This bundle enhances the lens's value and convenience, including a 49mm filter kit to protect and enhance your images, a sturdy lens case for safe transport, a lens cleaner and cleaning kit to maintain the pristine condition of your lens, and a lens cap tether to keep your lens cap secure. The Sonnar T* FE 55mm f/1.8 ZA Lens bundle is a comprehensive solution for discerning photographers who demand durability, versatility, and reliability in their equipment.
