The Sony Zeiss 55mm f/1.8 Sonnar T* FE ZA Lens is a high-quality prime lens designed for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. It features a fast f/1.8 aperture for excellent low-light performance and depth-of-field control, along with Zeiss T* anti-reflective coatings to minimize flare and ghosting.

Allows for excellent performance in low-light conditions and provides beautiful background blur for portraits and creative effects.

Fast f/1.8 Aperture

Zeiss T* Coating

Ideal for travel and street photography, offering portability without compromising performance.

Compact and Lightweight Design

Dust and Moisture Resistant

The Sony 55mm f/1.8 is a **full-frame** **prime** lens designed for the **Sony E-mount** mirrorless system. Its **f/1.8** maximum aperture allows for capable performance in lower light conditions and gives photographers meaningful control over depth of field. Focal length is fixed at **55mm**, placing it squarely in standard prime territory — a versatile perspective for portraits, street work, and general photography. The lens supports both **autofocus and manual focus**, making it adaptable across different shooting scenarios. Weighing just **281g**, it strikes a balance between being light enough for all-day use while still covering full-frame sensors. The **49mm** filter thread is a compact, cost-friendly size. One consideration is the **absence of image stabilization**, so stabilization-dependent shooters should factor in whether their camera body compensates for this.

A standard focal length with a fast maximum aperture, useful for portraits, street photography, and everyday shooting with natural perspective.
