Zeiss ZE 50mm f/1.4 for Canon
Available Today
The Zeiss 50mm f/1.4 Planar is one of the best 50mm lenses made. While the Zeiss lenses are manually focused, they have the electronics to provide focus confirmation. Basically you focus the lens manually, but the camera will confirm focus confirmation just as accurately as it would with an autofocus lens. Aperture is controlled from the camera body and even E-TTL flash metering is accurate.

This is an excellent lens. It’s manual focus only, but don’t let that intimidate you. The results are well worth any extra effort you think you have to put in! At 50mm it’s not particularly difficult to do, and if focus is critical, Live View handles things well. In terms of absolute sharpness, the 50mm Makro f/2 is a bit sharper, but if you need the aperture the f/1.4 is very good.
