Smooth, quiet operation is essential for moviemaking. An internal drive motor that achieves fluent, low-noise focus operation makes this lens a good choice for movies as well as stills, keeping imagery solid and noise out of the soundtrack.

Elegant appearance

Refined exterior finish and feel

A black aluminum alloy exterior blends beautifully with the graceful design of E-mount bodies, and an engraved focus ring offers superior grip and operating feel.

The black-finished aluminum alloy exterior of this lens affords an appearance that is eminently suitable for the distinguished ZEISS name, and of course it blends beautifully with the graceful design of E-mount bodies. The engraved focus ring offers sophisticated appearance as well as superior grip and operating feel.

Lens Configuration

Legendary ZEISS quality manufactured and calibrated specifically for Sony imaging products. The T coating contributes to exquisite rendering and contrast.

MTF Chart

MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) describes how well a lens can reproduce fine details, measured as the degree of contrast achieved between finely spaced lines.

Outstanding colour and contrast

The ZEISS T coating is an important contributing factor, effectively suppressing spurious reflections that can degrade overall image quality. Flare and ghosting are reduced for enhanced colour and contrast that give images a deep, three-dimensional feel.
