In this review I will be covering my new favorite lens known as the Sony Sonnar T* FE 55mm f/1.8 ZA Lens….
I originally got my hands on this lens back in 2014 when I was shooting with the original Sony A7R. Back in those days, the E-mount lens options were very limited, but this lens was dropped very early on and was known for the insane sharpness and overall “Zeiss” look that it produces..
In more recent times I picked this lens up used for about $450 US off Ebay, and have been using it on my Sony A74 and now Sony A7C2…
The optical design of this lens is fairly simple compared to the newest Sony GM and G lens designs, but regardless of that the real world results are what matter at the end of the day.
This lens shines for sure and you can get a used one for about half retail which is a bargain to say the least… Were talking around $450-475 US used vs $998 US Retail…
In this really long term review I show off a ton of sample photos and a decent amount of sample video, so you can see how this lens performs in all sorts of situations including, portraits, landscapes, street, food, weddings, show cars, and product photography
