Sony FE SEL50F14Z 50mm
The wide f/1.4 aperture and ZEISS T* coating, paired with a 12-element optical design incorporating two aspherical and one ED element, deliver sharp, flare-resistant images with strong low-light performance. A weather-sealed barrel and a fast, near-silent Ring Drive SSM autofocus motor ensure reliable operation and precise focus for both stills and 4K video capture. This lens is an ideal tool for portrait photographers who demand smooth, rounded 11-blade bokeh at a classic 50mm focal length.
