**Sony FE 55mm F1.8 ZA Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* Lens**

Fast F1.8 for broad creative control
Smooth bokeh enhances depth and dimension
Sony and ZEISS team up for better images
Shoot with confidence anywhere
Outstanding colour and contrast

Enjoy the superior performance from the Sony Sonnar T* FE 55 mm f1.8 Zeiss Standard Prime Lens thanks to combined advanced technology from Sony and ZEISS.

Bright aperture
Ideal for portraiture, landscapes and more, the FE 55 mm f/1.8 is compatible with full-frame E-mount and APS-C bodies. The large maximum aperture of f/1.8 is ideal when shooting in low light and lets you stop down for an extended depth-of-field.

Along with the 9 circular blades, the bright maximum aperture lets you create a beautifully smooth bokeh to perfectly highlight the foreground subject.

Precision optical design
Precision optics including three aspherical elements, reduce all forms of aberration while delivering impressive image-wide sharpness and contrast.

The ZEISS T* coating helps prevent flare and ghosting for enhanced colour and contrast resulting in improved image quality.

Weather sealed for shooting in the field, the Sony Sonnar T* FE 55 mm f/1.8 Zeiss Standard Prime Lens lets you shoot with confidence.

Understanding: Aperture

Aperture is the opening in a camera lens that controls how much light enters the camera. It's measured in f-stops like f/2.8 or f/8. Lower f-stop numbers mean wider openings, letting in more light and creating a shallow depth of field (blurry background). Higher f-stop numbers mean smaller openings, letting in less light and creating a larger depth of field (more of the scene in focus). Aperture also affects the quality of out-of-focus areas in the image (bokeh).

Understanding: Lens Types

Different lenses have different purposes to achieve different styles of images, some popular ones include:
Prime Lens: Fixed focal length, sharp images, great for portraits and dark settings.
Zoom Lens: Variable focal length, versatile for different shots and everyday use..
Wide-Angle Lens: Captures wide scenes like landscapes.
Telephoto Lens: Magnifies distant subjects, ideal for sports & wildlife.
Macro Lens: Perfect for close-up photography of small subjects.
Fisheye Lens: Ultra-wide perspective, creates unique images.

Understanding: Lens Mounts

Different camera brands use different lens mounts, which are like connectors that attach lenses to camera bodies. Each mount is specific to a particular brand and camera series. For example, Canon uses the EF and RF mounts, Nikon uses the F mount, Sony uses the E mount for its mirrorless cameras. These mounts dictate which lenses are compatible with which cameras. Some brands offer adapters to use lenses from other systems, but it's essential to ensure compatibility for proper functionality and autofocus performance.

Understanding: Manual and Autofocus

Manual focus and autofocus are two ways to adjust the sharpness of a camera lens. With manual focus, you turn a ring on the lens to bring the subject into focus yourself, giving you full control over what appears sharp in the image. Autofocus, on the other hand, relies on the camera's built-in technology to automatically adjust the focus for you, usually by detecting contrast or phase differences in the scene. Autofocus can be convenient, especially for fast-moving subjects or when you need to capture a quick shot, whereas manual focus allows for precise adjustments and creative control over the final image.
