After five years of shooting with the Zeiss ZM Sonnar 50mm f/1.5, this is my honest, long-term review — told through portraits, street photography, and night scenes in Havana. This isn’t a lens for perfectionists. It’s a lens for photographers who care more about feeling than flawlessness.
With its vintage-inspired glow, soft corners, and dreamy low-light rendering, the Sonnar brings imperfection to life in the most beautiful ways. This cinematic review dives deep into the lens’s character, handling, and real-world strengths — especially for moody, emotional photography.
