Zenit Zenitar 75mm f/1.4 Helios Edition


New Zenit Zenitar 75mm f/1.4 Helios Edition has been announced. Zenitar lenses can be found at B&H Photo.

“Zenitar” 1.4/75 “НЕ” is a high-aperture portrait lens with normal focal length designed for full-frame mirrorless digital cameras with Sony E-mount bayonet.

The lens has manual focus and aperture settings.

Multilayer lens coating increases transmission and decreases light scattering to ensure better image contrast and to significantly eliminate halos, glare and light spots even when pictures are taken in contre-jour technique against a considerably brighter object.

Lens with its high aperture has a small depth of field and provides a distinct swirling bokeh effect. This unique feature adds a soft watercolor touch to artistic photo portraits.

Small size and weight of lens make it suitable for both professional and art photography.
