Features
Excellent Image Quality
The ZEISS T* lens range is designed to provide high standards of performance, reliability and image quality. Advanced flare control supports crisp and brilliant images, while virtually zero geometric distortion helps maintain accuracy when reproducing shapes, including in product and architecture photography.
Ideal Aperture with Nine Blades
The nine diaphragm blades create a virtually circular aperture that contributes to the rendition of highlights in the foreground and background. The optical design of ZEISS SLR lenses supports a harmonious representation of blurred areas, making the quality of Bokeh an important part of image rendering.
ZEISS T* Anti-Reflective Coating
The optical elements feature ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating on all surfaces. The coating uses extremely thin, transparent layers applied to glass surfaces through a high-vacuum vapour deposition process to reduce reflective properties and support image brilliance in unfavourable lighting conditions.
Precise Manual Focus
The ZEISS Planar T* 1.4/50 provides precise manual focusing through a high-quality focusing mechanism designed for smooth operation without play. Its 223° rotation angle supports precise focusing, while meter and feet engravings and the depth of focus scale provide additional focusing assistance.
