Carl Zeiss Planar T* 50mm f/1.4 ZF.2 Lens - Nikon Mount
The perspective of human vision - high speed, sharply defined, pure colors. The T* 1.4/50 ZF.2 (with CPU) is an extremely fast standard lens for challenging 35 mm photography with SLR cameras. Professional photographers also consider it the best SLR standard lens in the world. It is compatible with the Nikon F (AI-S) bayonet. Its precise mechanism enables exact manual focusing. The lens provides optimum image quality and fully utilizes the technical and aesthetic potential of the best color films. The excellent color rendition and brilliance set the highest standards and simultaneously provide ideal conditions for ambitious digital photography. The ZF.2 lenses are an enhanced version of the ZF lenses. They feature an electronic interface (CPU). This CPU enables the ZF.2 lenses to support all important operating modes such as shutter priority, aperture priority and programmed auto exposure or manual exposure settings even on non-AI compatible camera housings. 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.
Furthermore, the silver fork coupling is not available on the ZF.2 lenses. For this reason, you cannot use light metering on older cameras (F, F2, Nikkormat, etc.). The ZF.2 lenses have a mechanical lock on the aperture ring to lock the aperture ring at the lowest setting and prevent unintentional adjustment while taking pictures.
For technical reasons, the ZF.2 lenses do not have a half-step aperture lock between the lowest (stop position) and the second lowest aperture setting. This guarantees reliable recognition of the automatic position. The lowest aperture on the ZF.2 lenses is orange to emphasize the automatic position of the aperture ring Please click here for camera compatibility. Please note: this is a manual focus lens. We also recommend, if your camera supports it, the use of an interchangeable focusing screen designed for manual focus. (D2 series, D3 series, F6 cameras’ standard focusing screens are already suitable for manual focus). What’s In The Box?
