The ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating ensures optimum color fidelity and noticeably reduces unwanted stray light. In challenging lighting conditions, the large aperture of f1.4 ensures maximum light transmission, which opens up unlimited creative possibilities.

Precise manual focus

• The perfect combination of grip, torque and angle of rotation ensures an incomparable tactile experience when focusing
• But above all, this is the only way to meet the high demands of modern camera systems in terms of focus precision.
• This balance, without any mechanical play, puts the ultimate control back in the hands of the photographer, whereby the length of the lens does not change due to the internal focusing.
• Precise scales with unique yellow ZEISS engravings help to make quick and accurate adjustments when it matters

Manual focus

In difficult or low light conditions, autofocus lenses can reach their limits and not get the focus exactly where you want it. Or the depth of field within a selected focus area is so great that the automatic system places the focus plane at the wrong point, contrary to the photographer's expectations - in these cases, manual focus can really come into its own.

For portraits, especially with large apertures (e.g. f/1.4) where the depth of field is very shallow, manual focus allows better control when focusing. Photographers can concentrate on certain elements within a scene for artistic reasons, e.g. to achieve a shallow depth of field or to isolate a subject.

Modern mirrorless cameras have corresponding setting aids. These support the user with manual focusing in the best possible way and, in conjunction with the lens and the set parameters, allow full control over the artistic composition of the image. Thanks to this deliberate reduction to the essentials, manual focus can give photographers the joy of their craft, of creating unique and irretrievable moments.
