ZEISS Optical Design

Based on the ZEISS Sonnar optical concept, this lens uses a design with seven elements in five groups that helps achieve the large maximum aperture of f/1.8 while simultaneously reducing flare and improving contrast.

Bright f/1.8 maximum aperture allows users to create images with shallow depth of field and work in low-light conditions with relative ease.

Three aspherical elements, including two double-sided, are incorporated in the lens design to reduce astigmatism, field curvature, coma, and other monochromatic aberrations.

ZEISS T* anti-reflective coatings have been applied to each lens surface to help minimize reflections in order to provide greater image clarity, contrast, and color fidelity.

A rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when employing selective focus techniques.

Autofocus and Design

Linear autofocus motor and internal focus design provide quick and precise autofocus performance and enable accurate and silent focusing while recording videos.

Dust- and moisture-sealed design better permits working in inclement conditions and rubberized control rings benefit handling in colder temperatures.

Carl Zeiss Optics

The lens is equipped with Carl Zeiss optics, renowned for their superior optical performance. This ensures outstanding image quality with sharpness, clarity, and precise color rendition.

55mm Focal Length

The 55mm focal length provides a natural perspective and a versatile field of view, making it ideal for capturing stunning portrait shots. It allows you to frame your subjects comfortably while maintaining an appropriate distance for flattering compositions.

Wide Aperture

With an impressive maximum aperture of f/1.8, this lens excels in low-light conditions and offers excellent control over depth of field. The wide aperture enables beautiful background blur (bokeh) and allows your subject to stand out prominently, creating a captivating visual impact.

Precise and Silent Autofocus

The lens features a fast and accurate autofocus system that ensures sharp and well-focused images. Its quiet operation makes it suitable for various shooting scenarios, including intimate portrait sessions or situations where discretion is essential.

High-Quality Build

Designed with durability in mind, the lens features a robust build quality that can withstand the rigors of professional use. Its construction incorporates weather sealing, protecting against dust and moisture, allowing you to shoot confidently in challenging environments.

Compact and Lightweight

The lens is designed to be compact and lightweight, making it highly portable and comfortable to use. It won't weigh you down during extended shooting sessions or while traveling, making it an excellent option for on-location portrait photography.

Versatility Beyond Portraits

While primarily intended for portraits, the 55mm focal length can also be used for various other photography genres, such as street photography, documentary photography, or capturing detailed close-ups.
