Can’t go wrong with the Sony/Zeiss lenses I have several Sony/Zeiss lenses.....all “A” mount..... I own the 50mm F1.4 T* prime...the Sony/Zeiss 85mm f1.4 T* prime...the Sony/Zeiss 24mm-70 F2.8 SSM T* zoom...and an APS_C Sony/Zeiss 16 to,80mm F3.5/4.5 T* zoom...they are all outstanding performers, built well, and great Image makers...all exhibiting those famous Zeiss colors and contrast. My favorite,of them all is the 50mm “normal” ...outstandingmsharpness, even wide open. My A99 full frame camera body mates well with all the lenses...and my A77 body works with all of them using the 1.5 crop factor.
Fantastic lens - highly recommended. There is simply no comparison with the smaller and cheaper Sony/Minolta 50/1.4. The images are as if three dimensional even wide open. If one needs a high speed 50mm, than there is no contest. That said, if you can live with f2.8, than the Sony/Minolta 50mm/2.8 macro produces similarly great images at a fraction of the cost of the Zeiss.
Excellent glass with a beautiful painting .... Should CZ manufactures manual focus lens Sony A-mount, could my collection contains some of them.
