Product Description
This macro lens provides a normal perspective and allows for close focusing down to 1: 2. The Makro-Planar T* 2/50 uses a new lens design which incorporates fl oating elements to ensure high performance across a wide focusing range. As a result, the lens can be used for non-macro applications and becomes a versatile standard lens when used with a full frame camera. The fast f/2 aperture and distortion-free performance enables wide-open photography with a short depth-of-field without compromising the image quality. The Makro-Planar T* 2/50 is available with the F bayonet (ZF) and K bayonet (ZK) lens mounts and is designed for use with full-frame SLR and DSLR cameras. Combined with a DSLR with a 1.5 crop factor, the lens becomes a focal length of 75 mm.

Superb, Fast 50mm Macro Lens from Carl Zeiss for Nikon F-mount SLR Cameras March 30, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
The first fast macro lens ever made by Carl Zeiss, the Zeiss Makro-Planar T* 50mm f2 lens may be among the best normal macro lens ever made. Judging from the MTF charts which available online from Zeiss (www.zeiss.com), this lens' performance at f2.8 is virtually indistinguishable for both normal medium telephoto and macro photography, offering the same degree of superb resolution and contrast in both circumstances via a floating element. It offers a close-up ratio of 1:2 without any additional extension tubes or filters. Perhaps more impressive is the fact that there is virtually zero distortion present, demonstrating that this is also a useful lens for architectural photography too. Without question, this fine lens is among the most impressive designs that Zeiss has introduced for its new line of Zeiss ZF lenses for Nikon F-mount SLR cameras, including the latest ones such as the Nikon D3 (This lens should also be available in Zeiss ZK mount for Pentax K-mount SLR cameras too. While both lens lines are made in Japan by Cosina, they are constructed using spare parts from Germany and under strict Zeiss quality control, so they should be regarded as superb Zeiss lenses manufactured in Japan.).br /br /I had a chance to handle this lens at Photo Plus East in October 2007. I was most impressed by its solid, extremely sturdy, construction. It is a lens that is capable of rugged use, even under less than ideal field conditions. I found it quite easy to focus, easily turning its focus knob all the way from infinity down to its closest focusing point. I was also delighted to see that it accepts 67mm filters, like its telephotol lens twin, the Zeiss Makro-Planar T* 100mm f2 lens; another spectacular new lens design from Zeiss. If I have any regrets, then it is my acute disappointment that this lens is not yet available in Contax/Yashica mount; if it was available, I wouldn't hesitate adding it to my current collection of Contax Carl Zeiss lenses. Hopefully one day soon, this lens will be available to fellow Contax users like yours truly.
