ZEISS Optical Design

Based on the ZEISS Planar optical concept, this lens uses a design with 12 elements in 9 groups that helps achieve the large maximum aperture of f/1.4 while helping to minimise chromatic aberrations.

Fast f/1.4 maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and also offers a wealth of control over focus position when using shallow depth of field techniques.

Rounded eleven-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when employing selective focus techniques.

ZEISS T* anti-reflective coatings have been applied to each lens surface to help minimise reflections in order to provide greater image clarity, contrast, and colour fidelity.

One Advanced Aspherical (AA) and one aspherical element are incorporated into the optical design for effective control over astigmatism, field curvature, coma, and other spherical aberrations.

One extra-low dispersion element is featured in the lens design to help reduce chromatic aberrations and colour fringing for improved clarity and colour neutrality.

Autofocus and Handling

Ring drive Super Sonic wave Motor autofocus system and internal focus mechanism provides quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance and also contributes to more natural, intuitive manual focus control.

AF/MF switch is located on the lens barrel for tactile control over focus modes.

Physical aperture ring can be de-clicked for smooth, silent aperture switching to benefit video applications.

Dust- and moisture-sealed design better permits working in inclement conditions and rubberised control rings benefit handling in colder temperatures.
