Sony Sonnar T* FE 55mm f/1.8 ZA (SEL55F18Z) Lens - BRAND NEW review
The new Sony FE 55mm ƒ/1.8 ZA Zeiss Sonnar T* lens is a fantastic fast prime lens for the Sony A7R and A7 full-frame mirrorless E-mount cameras and gives shooters a "normal" focal length perspective that's great for portraits and street photography as well as low-light shooting.

Seamlessly functioning lens with the Sony a7R body
All systems are go with this perfect full frame lens for the a7R body. Every electronic setting of the a7R can be adjusted to work the optics of this lens. Focus is spot on; apochromatic images are a7R-perfected; and, as a result, they have depth, extremely high resolution, and clarity.

Sony Sonnar T* FE 55mm f/1.8 ZA (SEL55F18Z) Lens - BRAND NEW review
Compared to all full frame standard f/1.7-1.8 lenses, tested by us so far, the Sonnar 1.8/55 FE has one undeniable advantage: sharp images in the frame centre already from the maximum relative aperture.
Pros:
- compact and solidly sealed casing of high quality,,, very good image quality in the frame centre already from the maximum relative aperture,,, sensible image quality on the edge of the APS-C sensor,, imperceptible lateral chromatic aberration,, moderate distortion,, lack of serious problems...
Cons:
- distinct longitudinal chromatic aberration,, huge vignetting on full frame,, too high coma,, steep price.

Sony Sonnar T* FE 55mm f/1.8 ZA (SEL55F18Z) Lens - BRAND NEW review
The Sony FE 55mm f/1.8 is the lens I’ve used the most with the A7 series yet I’d never published a dedicated article about it. As such, I thought it was about time I gave it some attention, especially since this lens is considered by many to be one of the best autofocus prime lenses ever designed.

Sony FE 55mm f1.8 ZA review-so-far
The Sony Zeiss Sonnar T* FE 55mm F1.8 ZA is a standard prime lens for Sony's mirrorless cameras, and corrected for use on full-frame bodies. Announced alongside the original A7 bodies in October 2013, it delivers close to standard 50mm coverage for a normal perspective, and a bright f1.8 focal ratio...

Sony Sonnar T* FE 55mm f/1.8 ZA (SEL55F18Z) Lens - BRAND NEW review
The Zeiss Sonnar T* FE 55mm f/1.8 ZA is certainly capable of delivering stunning results ... if you are aware of a few limitations. The image center is sharp at f/1.8 but the outer image region isn't quite as impressive here.

A good lens
This is a good lens. Lightweight, very sharp and great color reproduction. This is a good lens to pair with your mirrorless A7 series camera. Its not very big or heavy and the 49mm filter size will not break the bank if you shoot with filters.
Pros:
- Lightweight
- sharp
- color reproduction
Cons:
- Onion ring bokeh
- price

Sony Sonnar T* FE 55mm f/1.8 ZA (SEL55F18Z) Lens - BRAND NEW review
This was the first "premium" lens I picked up for my a7III after owning the 50mm 1.8, as well as the Tamron 28-75 G1. This is a lens that I will never let go of. There's something magical about the way that it renders images.
Pros:
- Incredibly durable, lightweight, tack sharp, silent and fast autofocus
Cons:
- Chromatic aberrations wide open can be distracting, video autofocus is not reliable in super low light conditions.
