Zenitar 50mm f/0.95 lens officially announced for Sony E-mount cameras with full frame image sensor. The fast prime lens will start shipping from March 20th and the USD price stands around $770.
This is the first lens of the line, equipped with an E attachment for mirrorless cameras, as well as a unique bokeh pattern. Ultra-high aperture speed of F / 0.95 provides low-light shooting. Distinctive design detail has become a perfectly round diaphragm, provided with fourteen petals.
The lens is constructed of nine elements in eight groups and constructed entirely of glass and metal. Considering the metal construction and massive optical elements, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the lens weighs quite a bit for its focal length, 1.1kg / 2.43lbs.
