    Overview

    The Zenitar 50mm f/1.9 MC is a manual focus lens with a 6-element, 4-group optical design, distinct from the more common f/1.7 version (Oldhand). At widest aperture, it renders with a soft glow and pleasant bokeh (Oldhand). It lacks an auto/manual switch (Oldhand). The lens suits photographers seeking a characterful, soft-focus look for creative effects, but may not appeal to those requiring sharpness wide open.
