First meeting
The Zenitar 1.2 / 50S lens is designed for use with “cropped” cameras that are equipped with APS-C format sensors. Available for Canon (Zenithar 1.2 / 50S C) and Nikon (Zenitar 1.2 / 50S N) cameras. Through the appropriate adapter, the lens can be used on any modern mirrorless.
Zenitar 1,2 / 50S - one of the latest developments of the Krasnogorsk plant them. S.A. Zvereva. It was first introduced in 2012, and mass production began in 2014.
We tested the Zenitar 1.2 / 50S on the Nikon D850, since it has a crop mode and it helps you to find out how this lens behaves in full frame.
NIKON D850 / Zenitar 1,2 / 50 Installations: ISO 64, F1.2, 1/320 s, 75.0 mm equiv.
Zenitar 1,2 / 50S is a fully “manual” lens: focusing and aperture adjustment are done manually.
It boasts a very high aperture ratio - f / 1.2, thanks to which it will turn out to greatly blur the background, for example, in portrait shooting. In addition, high aperture allows you to make high-quality shots in low light - at dusk or indoors.
