Has 13 aperture blades, this lens has a beautiful bokeh. Wide open, subjects located outside the depth of field are shown very blurred.Physical characteristics
With a lens filter diameter of 40 mm you are one step from the next standard filter size, buy step-up ring and bigger filter but you can chose from plenty options. 42 mm long, this small lens should be always in the camera bag. Weights 160 grams so convinient to carry.Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar T 50mm f/1.5 purchase history
