Focal Range

Schneider PC-TS 2.8/50 has a fixed focal length of 50mm. When it is mounted on an APS-C sensor camera with 1.6x crop, it provides an 35mm (FF) equivalent of 80mm.


Tripod Collar

With a total length of 128mm and a weight of 1400g, the Schneider PC-TS 2.8/50 is a large lens. Fortunately, it comes with a tripod collar which you can use to attach the lens directly to a tripod or monopod instead of attaching the camera. This connection helps to better balance the lens/kit combination.

Optical Image Stabilization

Schneider PC-TS 2.8/50 doesn't have an optical image stabilization system so the only option to stabilize the image taken with this lens is to mount on a camera body with IBIS (sensor based In-body image stabilization).
