Zeiss Planar T* ZF.2

No, the Zeiss Planar T* ZF.2 is a manual focus lens. You will need to rely on your camera's focus confirmation indicators or your own visual judgment to achieve sharp focus.

No, this lens is not weather-sealed. While the all-metal construction is very durable, you should take care to protect it from rain, dust, and extreme moisture when shooting in harsh environments.

The fast f/1.4 maximum aperture allows significantly more light to reach the sensor, making it an excellent choice for low-light situations without needing to push your ISO too high. It also provides a shallow depth of field, which is ideal for isolating subjects and creating a soft, blurred background.

Thanks to its nine-blade diaphragm, this lens produces smooth, pleasing bokeh. The rounded aperture blades help render out-of-focus highlights in a natural, circular shape, which is particularly effective for portraiture.

This lens uses the Nikon F mount. It is designed for full-frame Nikon cameras, but it can also be used on crop-sensor (DX) Nikon bodies, where it will provide an effective focal length equivalent to approximately 75mm.

No, this lens does not feature optical image stabilization. Because it is a manual focus prime lens, you will need to rely on steady hands or a tripod, especially when shooting at slower shutter speeds.
