ZEISS C Sonnar 50mm f1.5 M mount black

This fast normal focal length offers special properties especially for portrait, event and people photography.

The C in C Sonnar T* 1.5/50 ZM stands for both "compact" and "classic". The optical design and aperture shape is based on the classic Sonnar T* 1.5/50 of the 1930s, the fastest standard lens of its time. The inherently good freedom from reflections of its classic predecessor was further optimized by the anti-reflective coating on the ZEISS T*. This lens is reminiscent of the old days. It exhibits a particularly harmonious "bokeh" and atmospheric crop shots, creating a look like the golden age of rangefinder photography.

A lens with relatively few glass-to-air surfaces, developed by Dr. Ludwig Bertele at ZEISS in 1930, it was the fastest lens for 35 mm photography at the time, with apertures up to 1:1.5 and high contrast thanks to good flare behavior. Bright and high-contrast - hence the name, derived from the word sun, the symbol for greatest brightness. The above advantages can also be found in modern lenses in the normal and telephoto range whose optical design is based on this basic type.
