Product Description
This bright and compact standard lens has a precise manual focusing mechanism and large rotation angle for precise control. The Planar T 1,4/50 is designed for medium and longer distances and provides high-performance wide open, which only improves as the lens is stopped down. The lens construction controls flare and ghosting artifacts, resulting in a brilliant image with excellent contrast and natural color rendition. Combined with a DSLR with a 1.5 crop factor, the lens becomes a compact, lightweight 75mm portrait lens.

The Best Fast 50mm Lens Available to Nikon Film and Digital SLR Users November 25, 2007
8 out of 13 found this review helpful
In collaboration with the Japanese firm Cosina, Zeiss has developed a series of Nikon F-mount lenses (which are also available, to a less extent, in Pentax Screw "S" and Bayonet "K" mounts) that are more than refined versions of its late, lamented Contax/Yashica-mount SLR Carl Zeiss lenses. The first lens issued in this collaboration, the 50mm f1.4 ZF Planar lens, is an updated version of the original Contax SLR 50mm f1.4 Planar, which, years ago, won ample praise from Popular Photography as the best 50mm lens currently available. It is heavier than its predecessor, with a slightly wider filter thread (58mm versus 55mm). But, like its critically acclaimed predecessor, it is a superb lens, and, quite possibly, the best fast 50mm lens currently available (While I have not shot with this lens, I am quite familiar with its predecessor, since I own - and have used for many years - a Contax 50mm f1.4 Planar.). This new 50mm Planar lens (just like its Contax predecessor) easily out-performs current and past 50mm f1.4 Nikkor lenses, especially wide-open at f1.4, showing substantially greater resolution and higher contrast. Anyone who owns a Nikon digital SLR camera that accepts Nikon manual focusing AI/AI-S lenses - as well as those who own manual focusing Nikon SLRs from the Nikon F onwards - should strongly consider adding this fine lens to their kit (The only major negative feature of this lens which may dissuade potential purchasers is that it does not come with a proprietary Nikon digital chip; Nikon did not give Zeiss permission to "chip" this lens.).
