The 50mm is perfect for anybody who thinks 85mm is too tight and the 35mm is too wide. The 50 was the focal length used by the most well-known street photographer of all time, Henri Cartier-Bresson. I think its a beautiful focal length. To me, it is the lens that has the most balance in photography.

I bought this expensive lens in March of 2018 only to realize that the autofocus was much slower than it was supposed to be when a friend received a different copy. Dealing with Sony's repair service has been an absolute nightmare. First, the lens was gone for over a month.

The Sony FE 50mm f1.4 ZA is a very respectable large aperture standard prime lens for Sony's mirrorless bodies. It's very sharp in the center and produces one of the best full-frame corners I've seen. Plus its resistance against flare and glare in adverse contra-light situations is commendable.

Very good resolution and contrast; No coma; Only little longitudinal CA; Very good resistance against flare; glare; and ghosting; Minimal distortions (through lens profile); Weather sealing; De-clickable aperture ring

Visible focus-breathing; Bokeh could be a bit smoother; Large and heavy lens

As I said in the review intro, how does extremely sharp image quality at f/1.4 from a well-built lens in the ultra-popular 50mm focal length sound? Right, it sounds fantastic. The Sony FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA Lens is that lens.

The Sony Carl Zeiss Planar T* 50mm f/1.4 ($1,499.99 direct)( at Amazon Canada) is the top-end standard-angle prime lens for Sony D-SLR cameras. It's a more expensive version of the older Sony 50mm f/1.4( at Amazon Canada), but it's one that's been designed with very little compromise in terms of optical qualities. The Zeiss lens is sharp from edge to edge, even at wide apertures, is very solidly constructed, and features a built-in focus motor. It's also a bit bigger and heavier than the less expensive standard 50mm f/1.4, but if you're in search of image quality above all, its extra size and cost are worth it. The Planar T* measures 2.8 by 3.2 inches (HD), weighs in at a hefty 1.1 pound, and supports large 72mm filters. The lens barrel is metal, with a large manual focus ring, and a reversible hood is included. The build quality is definitely a step above other lenses. The minimum focus distance is about 1.5 feet (0.45 m); focusing that close at f/1.4 produces a very shallow d...

The Sony Carl Zeiss Planar T* 50mm f/1.4 is very sharp from edge-to-edge, but it shows some distortion and is on the expensive side.

Impressively sharp; Excellent depth of field control; Captures a ton of light; Great build quality

Some barrel distortion; Big; Expensive
