Carl Zeiss expands its existing ZE line of lenses with a new macro lens, the Makro-Planar T* 2/50, which is now also available with EF bayonet. This light-sensitive and versatile lens is as well perfect as standard focal fix lens for portraits or still life photography.

Thus Carl Zeiss enables the owners of EOS camera models to create wonderfully expressive detail-rich macro images, in which sharpness and unsharpness are creative elements on a choice of a photographer.

The Makro-Planar T* 2/50 can render objects in close-up on a scale of 1:2 even in tricky situations such like dusk thanks to its constant aperture of  f/2 and create distortion-free images. Moreover, a low focal depth makes it possible that the desired image is easily isolated from its disruptive surroundings, for instance an insect sitting on a flower or a fruit.

In terms of its optical construction, the lens consists of 8 elements in 6 groups and includes Carl Zeiss’s acclaimed “floating elements” design. Such lens alignment enables high optical performance across the entire focusing range, from 0.24 m to infinity.

The lens is optimized for analogue and full-frame digital SLR cameras. It is available with F bayonet (ZF) and K bayonet (ZK) as well as in ZF.2 version.
