Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar T 50mm f/2.8 is a manual focus prime lens for full frame cameras.
Optical design
Has 12 aperture blades, this lens has a beautiful bokeh. Bright lens thanks to the high aperture valuePhysical characteristics
45 mm long, this small lens should be always in the camera bag. With a lens filter diameter of 40.5 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. Weights 112 grams so convinient to carry.Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar T 50mm f/2.8 purchase history
