A bright, full-frame E-mount prime lens by Carl Zeiss


- A 35mm full-frame format - This E-mount prime lens is designed to be used with α7 and α7R bodies for 35mm performance
- A large F1.8 maximum aperture - Allows more light to reach the camera sensor, producing rich, high contrast pictures
- Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* lens - Produces images in exceptional contrast and resolution with Carl Zeiss technology and a Sonnar T* anti-reflective coating
- A 55mm fixed focal length - Capture images in sharp detail with a 'normal' prime lens. Enjoy a higher level of optical performance than most zooms
- Minimise distortion - Aspherical lens elements ensures less internal reflection in a more compact design
- Smooth and responsive focus - A linear motor driven internal focusing mechanism produces quick autofocus and reduces minimum focal distance
- Shoot outdoors, rain or shine - Ideal for shooting in adverse weather conditions: critical areas of the lens exterior have been sealed against dust and moisture
- Smooth, rounded defocusing - A 9 blade circular aperture delivers natural defocusing effects or 'bokeh'
- A versatile shooting experience - The SEL-55F18Z is ideal for shooting landscapes, portraits and action shots. This bright lens can handle indoor or low-light shoots
