The ZEISS Loxia 50mm f/2 presents a standard field of view within a remarkably compact framework, making it a versatile prime lens for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. It is adept at capturing a variety of subjects, ranging from portraits to landscapes. Employing a traditional symmetrical Planar optical configuration, this lens delivers well-corrected, sharp images while effectively managing aberrations and distortions. Furthermore, an advanced ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating has been applied to minimize ghosting and flaring, thereby enhancing contrast and color accuracy in challenging lighting situations.

Loxia-series lenses are notable for their manual focus functionality and a manual aperture ring that can be de-clicked for silent adjustments, rendering them particularly advantageous for filmmakers. These lenses are also recognized for their compact design and robust all-metal lens barrel, which features engraved scales for focusing and depth of field, allowing for precise control. Additionally, the lens body is designed to be dust- and moisture-resistant, enabling its use in demanding environments.

• Normal-length prime is designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, however can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 75mm equivalent focal length
• Bright f/2 aperture helps to achieve a more compact, portable form factor while also remaining versatile for use in a variety of lighting conditions.
• Planar optical design affords high sharpness and consistent performance throughout the focusing range to suit photographing at a wide range of imaging scales.
• ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating has been applied to each lens surface to help minimize reflections and provide greater contrast and color fidelity.
• Manual focus design is benefitted by focusing and depth of field scales along with a 180 focus ring rotational angle and hard stops at both infinity and minimum focusing positions.
• Manual aperture ring has clicked indicators throughout aperture range. Using the included De-Click Tool, this ring can be mechanically ‘de-clicked’ for smooth, silent rotation throughout the aperture range; making it ideal for video applications.
• Weather-resistant construction includes internal seals to guard against dust and moisture as well as a blue sealing ring at the lens mount to protect the lens-camera interface.
• The lens mount is fitted with an electronic interface that conveys all lens Exif data to the camera and can also be configured to automatically activate the camera’s focusing magnification function when turning the focus ring.
