Zeiss
50mm f/1.5 C Sonnar T* ZM (Black)
Standard prime lens for M-mount rangefinder cameras
The black 50mm f/1.5 C Sonnar T* ZM Lens from Zeiss is a manual focus, wide angle prime lens that is compatible with Zeiss Ikon, Leica M, or Voigtlander M-mount rangefinder cameras. The Carl Zeiss range of T* ZM-mount lenses are designed to control geometric distortion, making them a great choice when photographing products or architecture. A bright maximum aperture of f/1.5 benefits working in low light, and with shallow depth of field.
The C in the name of this lens stands for Compact, and this lens is not much bigger or heavier than the slower 50mm f/2 lens in this same range. 6 lens elements in four groups are engineered to eliminate geometric distortions, and the optics are treated with Zeiss T* anti-reflective coatings, for enhanced image contrast and clarity. The lens's aperture ring is adjustable in precise 1/3 steps and controls a 10-bladed iris for smooth bokeh.
