Revel in the exceptional feel of precise manual focus, giving you unparalleled creative freedom at your fingertips. A 50mm lens was legendary photographer Cartier Bresson’s favourite. The reason is simple: this focal length provides the equivalent field of view of the human eye on a 35mm camera, which makes for a very natural perspective. Compact, light and extremely flexible, the ZEISS Loxia 50mm f2 shines in the most varied of applications. Regardless of whether it’s for street photography, landscapes, portraits or spontaneous discoveries, the ZEISS Loxia 50mm is the ideal companion for photographic and filmic exploration.

Bright f2 Aperture

The Carl Zeiss Loxia 50mm f2 prime lens is compact and lightweight, offering a natural looking view that’s similar to the human eye. This makes it great for portraits, immersive scenes, street photography and more. A bright f2.0 maximum aperture offers beautiful depth of field and great lowlight performance. This is extremely beneficial when working outdoors as the lighting conditions can change so quickly.

De-Click Feature

One completely new feature of the Loxia lens is that you can ‘de-click’ the aperture’s locking mechanism. This means that for video applications, you can smoothly adjust exposure during a shot, eliminating any obvious differences between aperture stops. This seamless transition greatly increases the production value of your video while also making post processing much easier.

Precise Manual Focus

As far as manual focusing goes, good ergonomic design makes all the difference. ZEISS lenses stand out with their large rotation angle, enabling precise focusing. The high-quality focusing mechanism moves smoothly without play, supporting the intuitive interaction with the focal plane. The precise distance engraving and depth of focus scale provide additional help for manually focusing.

Virtually Distortion-Free Optics

Dramatic perspectives and a view from extraordinary image angles, the Zeiss Loxia 50mm lens opens up new compositional possibilities. Distortion is accordingly and largely compensated for through an elaborate optical design at all focal lengths, keeping your lines clean and straight across the image.

High-Grade Full-Metal Casing

Tangible quality that holds its value is what qualifies ZEISS lenses for decades of hard use. A precision-engineered full-metal casing, grippy metal focus and aperture rings made, and a tough front bayonet and filter screw guarantee stunning photographic results. A special sealing ring on the bayonet also protects the interface between the camera and the lens.

Immensely Compatible

Optimised for full frame sensors, ZEISS Loxia lenses are suitable for use with Sony Alpha E-mount mirrorless camera. With the Loxia lenses, aperture is controlled manually. This is what allows the integration of the so-called DeClick feature. The cameras feature the corresponding automatic exposure control (A) and manual exposure control (M).
