Sony Planar T* FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA Lens
The Sony SEL50F14Z is a full-frame prime lens for Sony E-mount cameras, designed for photographers who need a fast standard focal length. It suits portrait, low-light and general-purpose work where a wide aperture and high resolution are priorities. Buyers who need zoom flexibility or a longer telephoto reach should look elsewhere.
Maximum Aperture f/1.4
The lens opens to f/1.4 and stops down to f/16, with an 11-blade rounded diaphragm that produces smooth bokeh highlights. Its 50mm focal length gives a 47-degree angle of view on 35mm format and 32 degrees on APS-C. Minimum focus distance is 1.48 feet, yielding 0.15x magnification.
Zeiss T* Coating and Physical Aperture Ring
Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating reduces flare and ghosting for improved contrast and colour fidelity in harsh light. A physical aperture ring with a de-click switch allows smooth, silent iris changes during video recording. The ring-drive SSM autofocus motor and internal focusing support fast, quiet AF performance. A 72mm filter thread accepts standard screw-in filters.

Questions about this item
How does the f/1.4 maximum aperture perform on a full-frame sensor?
The f/1.4 maximum aperture gathers ample light for low-light shooting on the 35mm full-frame format and provides shallow depth of field for subject isolation. The 11-blade diaphragm produces smooth, circular bokeh highlights.
What does the Sony E-mount interface mean for aperture control and autofocus?
The native Sony E-mount provides full electronic communication for autofocus via the Ring Drive Super Sonic Wave Motor and allows aperture control through the physical aperture ring, which includes a de-click switch for smooth video transitions.
What filter size and physical space does this lens require?
The lens accepts 72mm filters at the front thread. It measures 3.29 inches in diameter and 4.25 inches in length, weighing 1.72 lbs, with internal focusing that keeps the barrel from extending during use.
