Zenit 50mm f/2 MC is a manual focus prime lens for full frame cameras.

Optical design

Has 6 aperture blades, this number of blades are commonly used. Having rounded blades provides out of focus circle shape closer to a circle. Bright lens thanks to the high aperture value

Physical characteristics

45 mm long, this small lens should be always in the camera bag. Weights 190 grams so convinient to carry. With a lens filter diameter of 46 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.
