The Sony ZEISS 55mm f1.8 lens is a stellar pick for shooting in low-light conditions and creating portraits and snapshots with beautiful bokeh qualities. Its large aperture allows superior control over depth of field and its high-grade optics deliver superb image quality. With fast and precise AF, a compact design, and weather seals, the Sony ZEISS 55mm f1.8 lens is a nifty little lens for capturing both stills and video on the go. The Sony Sonnar T* FE 55mm f/1.8 ZA Lens is a prime, standard focal length lens featuring a high-speed and bright f/1.8 maximum aperture to support working in dimly-lit conditions and for greater control over focus for shallow depth of field imagery. The sophisticated Sonnar optical design enables high resolution and sharpness with optimized low-light shooting capabilities. A Carl Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating has also been applied to lens elements to reduce lens flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color fidelity.
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. Additionally, a dust- and moisture-resistant construction ensures this lens' use in harsh environmental conditions. Dust and moisture-sealed design better permits working in inclement conditions and rubberized control rings benefit handling in colder temperatures.
