Digital camera reviews of Zeiss 50mm f/1.4 Planar T* ZE Series Lens for Canon EOS Cameras
Digital camera Review: Beautiful lens, beautiful images
Summary: 5 Stars
I shoot video (and therefore only speak from that perspective) with the Canon Rebel T2i, and I bought this lens as an upgrade to my Canon 50 f1.8 II.
Initially I was leaning towards purchasing the Canon 50mm 1.2L, but after watching numerous video examples I decided to instead go with the Zeiss. What most moved me in this direction was the color rendering of the Zeiss. The Canon skewed towards a red hue, whereas the Zeiss rendered out a more natural color.
The bokeh is stunning, and even at 1.4 this lens is incredibly sharp. Also, as the product description indicates, this lens handles overexposed backgrounds extremely well; ghosting was a big problem with the 1.8 II, but no longer is that an issue!
The build quality of this lens is peerless. It has a sturdy build, and I especially appreciate the fact that the lens hood was metal; perhaps a superficial point to harp on, but it is minor details like that which demonstrate attention to every detail.
Summary of Zeiss 50mm f/1.4 Planar T* ZE Series Lens for Canon EOS Cameras
The Zeiss 50mm 1.4 is a bright and compact standard lens with precise manual focusing mechanism and large rotation angle for precise control. The Planar T* 1.4/50 is designed for medium and longer distances and provides high-performance wide open, which only improves as the lens is stopped down. The lens construction controls flare and ghosting artifacts, resulting in a brilliant image with excellent contrast and natural color rendition. Combined with a DSLR with a 1.5 crop factor, the lens becomes a compact, lightweight 75 mm portrait lens.Lenses
