Give portraits and wedding photos a smooth bokeh effect with the nine-bladed circular aperture and a shallow depth of field at wide apertures.

Its water and dust-resistant design ensures reliable performance in extreme conditions, perfect for professional use.

Sharp and Clear

Three aspherical elements, including an advanced aspherical (AA) element, form an ultra-modern optical path that compensates for aberrations and delivers excellent sharpness from corner to corner. This sharpness is maintained even at maximum aperture, ensuring consistent optical performance across all exposure settings.

DDSSM Delivers Quiet Autofocusing Speed and Precision

The Direct Drive Super Sonic Wave Motor (DDSSM) system precisely positions the heavy focus group required for the full-frame format, enabling accurate focusing even with a shallow depth of field. The DDSSM drive system is also extremely quiet, making it ideal for video recording with continuous re-focusing.

Designed for both video and photography, this lens features an aperture ring with adjustable clicks for tactile feedback when taking pictures. The de-click switch allows for smooth, quiet operation when recording videos. The lens also minimizes focus breathing, an essential quality for video recording.

Colour and Contrast

Zeiss lenses are renowned for their excellent colour reproduction and contrast. The Zeiss T* coating plays a crucial role in suppressing reflections, enhancing overall image quality. This results in images with vibrant colours and deep, three-dimensional contrast.
