The Zeiss 55mm f1.8 is a budget-friendly prime lens which I am using on the full frame Sony A7C camera body. The Sony FE 55mm f1.8 ZA is a small lens which focuses reliably for portrait photography, with sharp results.

In this behind the scenes video, I share a point of view look at our portrait photoshoot to see how this lens performs on the Sony A7C. I share with you my composition tips and how I direct my subject for portraits with a 55mm.

If you want to hear a more in depth review of the Zeiss 55mm f1.8, you can watch this video. I put this 55mm head to head with the Zeiss 50mm f1.4 which is almost double the price to compare performance and final image results.
