CONTAX Carl Zeiss Planar T* 50mm F1.4 AEJ, tested and working. Hello from Japan! We provide high-quality cameras and lenses to the world. The Carl Zeiss Planar T* 50mm f/1.4 is the flagship fast standard lens of the Contax/Yashica system, designed by Carl Zeiss and built in Japan under the Zeiss-Yashica partnership. The "AEJ" designation marks the early aperture-priority (AE) version made in Japan, distinct from the later MM-type lenses. It uses a refined seven-element, six-group Planar formula with Zeiss T* multicoating for high contrast and colour fidelity. Renowned for its rendering and build, it remains one of the most celebrated manual-focus standard primes. Mount & Compatibility This lens uses the Contax/Yashica (C/Y) mount and is a manual-focus lens native to Contax and Yashica film SLR bodies. On mirrorless cameras (Sony E, Fujifilm X, etc.) it can be used with a simple C/Y-to-mirrorless adapter.
