Please note that this is a manual focus lens.

The Makro-Planar T* 50mm f/2 manual focus macro lens provides a normal perspective and allows for close focusing down to 1:2. The lens's design incorporates floating elements to ensure high performance across a wide focusing range. As a result, the lens can be used for non-macro applications allowing it to be a versatile 'standard' lens when used with a full-frame camera.

The fast f/2 aperture and distortion-free performance enables wide-open photography with a short depth-of-field without compromising the image quality. When used on a DSLR with a 1.5 crop factor, the lens has a 75mm focal length.
