Description
The Sony FE 55mm f/1.8 ZA is a light-sensitive prime lens for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras. You can also photograph in poor light situations with this lens, thanks to the large maximum aperture of f/1.8. The 9-blade, circle-shaped aperture creates a nice soft background so your subject stands out. The multiple-layer coatings and aspheric elements prevent distortion, chromatic aberrations, and lens flares. This ensures optimal performance and a high image quality. The lens has seals for moisture and dust, so you can to take it with you while you travel.

The best full-frame lens for Sony. The best image quality, maybe not the fastest option (50mm 1.4), but 1.8 comes very close and in return you get a really compact lens.
