Sony Sonnar T FE 55mm f/1.8 ZA Lens

This Sony E-mount prime lens covers a 55 mm focal length with a bright f/1.8 maximum aperture. It suits photographers who want a compact full-frame option for portraits and everyday shooting. The ZA designation marks Zeiss optical design for high contrast and colour fidelity.

Build and handling

A lightweight barrel keeps the kit easy to carry during long sessions. The linear autofocus motor operates quickly and quietly for both stills and video. Nine rounded aperture blades produce smooth bokeh when the lens is wide open. Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating reduces flare and ghosting in harsh light.

Upgrade path

The constant f/1.8 aperture replaces slower kit zooms that lose speed at longer focal lengths. Three aspherical elements correct distortion and chromatic aberration better than basic designs. Buyers who need a zoom range or a wider maximum aperture should consider other lenses.
