Description of Zeiss Biogon T* 2/35 ZM 1365-659 35mm f/2 Black Manual Focus Lens

VIRTUALLY DISTORTION-FREE OPTICS: Dramatic perspectives and a view from extraordinary image angles - ZEISS lenses open up new composition possibilities. Distortion would disrupt the composition because straight lines, whose image does not go through the image center, would be reproduced with a curved shape. This annoying effect is accordingly and largely compensated through elaborate optical designs at all focal lengths. EXCELLENT IMAGE QUALITY: ZEISS lenses offer the highest possible standards in terms of performance, reliability and, of course, image quality. Quite simply, they are superior in every way. You can count on highly advanced flare control for crisp and brilliant images, and virtually zero geometric distortion, ensuring precise accuracy when reproducing shapes – especially useful when photographing products and architecture. EXCELLENT RESOLUTION AND HIGH CONTRAST: Richly saturated and vivid colours are a must in the creation of lasting impressions. However, stray light within an optical system leads to a lightening of the image that is particularly noticeable in the shadows. This reduces image contrast, with the result that exposures lack contrast and appear faded. To avoid this, ZEISS combines various specially developed technologies to reduce the undesirable effects of stray light. MINIMIZED FOCUS SHIFT: ZEISS T ZM-mount lenses are specifically designed to minimize focus shift with aperture changes – an important innovation with big benefits for rangefinder photography. As a result, you can expect improved accuracy of the rangefinder-defined focus while the precise 10-blade aperture with 1/3 stop interval click stops ensures exact exposure.

Perfect buy Lenses

This 35mm lens that I use on my Leica M9 has already impressed me with the detail and color in some landscape shots I've taken recently. This lens is of excellent quality. I think everyone will enjoy their performance.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Appearance

I bought this lens through the Revain newsletter and have used it on my travels in Europe and the US and have taken great photos. Easy and clean focusing; This is the lens I use on my Leica. Solid construction, aperture ring snaps in well. Zone focusing and hyper focusing are clear and precise. I am very happy with this lens.

Pros
  • Regular Price
Cons
  • Factor Set

Excellent lens for use with a Leica camera

Excellent lens for use with a Leica camera! I like the finish, the contrast and the overall performance. although my ultimate 35mm lens is the Cosina-Voigtländer Nokton 35mm f1.4. This is now fitted to my Leica M4-2 and they are a match made in heaven in terms of usability and ergonomics. I have yet to develop the film but as I have another Zeiss lens (identical to this one but in silver) I know the results will be quite satisfactory.

Pros
  • Sparkles
Cons
  • Long time

No hood, despite the pictures on the site.

Although I'm happy with this lens on my Leica m 246, I'm a bit annoyed about the Revain. The supplied lens hood was reproduced on the original images of the lens. I specifically asked before ordering if the lens hood came with the lens (presumably as premium). When I received the lens, there was no lens hood with it. What is interesting and disturbing is that they have now changed the product images on the website. I consider this to be misleading advertising. I understand that a lens hood…

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
