Zeiss Otus 55mm f/1.4 APO Distagon T* ZF.2 Nikon Lens

Description

Please note that this premium Zeiss Otus 55mm f/1.4 ZF.2 is a luxury, strictly manual-focus-only lens by design. Widely regarded as one of the single sharpest standard lenses ever created, it delivers legendary optical perfection from a minimum distance of 0.5 metres all the way to infinity. While it features built-in electronic contacts for full exposure metering and aperture control on Nikon F-mount cameras, you must adjust the focus ring manually.

The Zeiss Otus 55mm f/1.4 APO Distagon T* ZF.2 Nikon Lens is a standard focal length premium lens optimised for full-format DSLR camera sensors. A wide maximum aperture combined with Zeiss’ renowned optical glass and T* lens coating allow the 55mm f/1.4 to transmit an impressive degree of detail and colour rendition even in low light situations. A floating element design equips the lens for consistent image quality, minimal aberration and field distortion throughout the focus range. Complementing the premium optics of the 55mm f/1.4 Otus lens is a metal lens housing as evidence of a build quality that matches the lens’s imaging prowess. Additionally, an all-metal focusing mechanism with an extended rotation angle allows precise manual focusing from 20″ to infinity. Borrowing from their cinema lenses, Zeiss labels the focus scale with highly-visible yellow markings. The rubberised focus ring improves tactile feedback and helps to enable exact focus placement.
