International orders*The Zeiss 50mm f/1.4 Z Planar T* Lens is a high-speed standard lens for the exacting 35mm SLR photographer. Considered by professional photographers to be one of the worlds best SLR lenses (if not the best), this "Z" lens is now available with the "universal (M42)" screw-mount. This allows it to be adapted to almost any 35mm SLR system.
The Planar lens with its front-and-back symmetry was invented by Dr. Paul Rudolf and is one of the best-known Carl Zeiss T* lenses. It is remarkably effective in eliminating aberrations and possesses very high definition allowing contrast in the subject to be faithfully reproduced.
