Key Features
- F-Mount Lens/FX Format
- Aperture Range: f/1.4 to f/16
- ZEISS T* Anti-Reflective Coating
- Manual Focus Design
A classic focal length and a classic design, the Nikon F-mount Planar T* 50mm f/1.4 ZF.2 from ZEISS is a normal-length prime ideal for working with most subjects. Its bright f/1.4 maximum aperture excels in low-light conditions and also offers greater control over depth of field for using selective focus. The Planar type optical concept is a tried-and-true design that yields consistently high sharpness throughout the focusing range with even illumination throughout the aperture range. Also, a T* anti-reflective coating has been applied to individual elements to control lens flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy.

Will this lens be compatible with a D500 and a Z50 (using the FTZ)?
Yes, it will work and you have to set the lens to f/16 to allow the camera to control the aperture. That is why f/16 on the aperture ring is orange. It will of course be manual focus.

Dows this lens work with apsc sensors?
Yes, the ZEISS Classic lenses will work with cameras using different sensor sizes, including APS-C. Keep in mind, the smaller APS-C sensor size has the effect of 'cropping' the image by a factor of 1.5x - 1.6x depending on the exact size of the sensor (it varies by manufacturer).
