Carl Zeiss SLR Lenses - Makro-Planar T* 2/50

Universal High Speed Macro Lens, By Carl Zeiss.

This macro lens provides a normal perspective and allows for close focusing down to 1:2. The Makro-Planar T* 2/50 uses a new lens design which incorporates floating elements to ensure high performance across a wide focusing range. As a result, the lens can be used for non-macro applications and becomes a versatile 'standard' lens when used with a full frame camera. The fast f/1.4 aperture and distortion free performance enables wide-open photography with a short depth of field without compromising the image quality. The Makro-Planar T* 2/50 is available with the F bayonet (ZF) and the K bayonet (ZK) lens mounts and is designed for use with full frameSLR and DSLR cameras. Combined with a DSLR with a 1.5 crop factor, the lens becomes a focal lenth of 75 mm.

Key Features of the Makro-Planar T* 2/50

• A versatile 'standard' lens for both macro and non-macro photography.
• A floating element design ensures that performance is virtually unchanged from 0.24 m (0.79 ft) to infinity.
• A fast f/2 aperture is useful under low light conditions and gives better creative control of depth-of-field.
