Makro-Planar T* 50mm f/2 ZF.2 for Nikon
Standard manual focus prime lens
The Zeiss Makro-Planar T* 50mm f/2 ZF.2 is a versatile manual focus lens with a standard focal length, for Nikon F-Mount cameras. The Carl Zeiss T* anti-reflection coating ensures the exceptional colour control Zeiss lenses are known for, and its wide aperture is suited to working in low-light, while offering precise focus control. It uses an F bayonet (Nikon) lens mount, and its 50mm focal length makes for natural looking portraits, landscapes, and street-scapes.
The new ZF.2 lenses are an enhanced version of ZF lenses. They feature an electronic interface (CPU) that enables support of all important camera operating modes such as shutter priority, aperture priority and programmed auto exposure or manual exposure settings. Photographers no longer have to set the parameters in the camera menu as the lens now transmits standard data such as focal length, speed and the aperture setting to the camera. This data can then be viewed in the EXIF data of each picture. The ZF.2 lenses also have a mechanical lock on the aperture ring to lock the aperture ring at the lowest setting and prevent unintentional adjustment while taking pictures.
