Zeiss Distagon T* 25mm f/2.0 ZE Canon Mount Lens

Create your own masterpiece with the Zeiss Distagon T* 25mm f/2.0 ZE Canon Mount Lens. Every photograph relies on the intricate details of the image, so you cannot miss out on every single detail. Use depth of field and make your details shine with its f/2.0 - f/22 aperture range. Attach accessories with its M 67 x 0.75 filter thread. The lens has 11 lens elements in 10 groups for better lens performance, and create stunning photos every time. It has the "Floating Elements" design to minimize aberration even at close focus distances so you can capture details realistically. Its aspheric optical surface replaces the much more complex multi-lens system for a smaller, and lighter lens that reduces spherical aberration. It is made of a special glass with anomalous partial dispersion to keep the size and weight of the lens in proportion without compromising quality. It is a high speed lens which captures as much light as possible ensuring you impressive photographs even in unfavourable lighting conditions. This lens is compatible with EF Mount (ZE) cameras. It is compatible with APS-C and Full Frame Sensor DSLR Cameras.

Product Features in Detail

Master the dramatic
A beautiful landscape, a stunning piece of architecture or a fascinating photo documentary - capture scenes rich in intimate detail. Give each composition your own, unique perspective.

Take a different view
The Distagon T* 2/25 enables creative photography with interesting perspectives – even in difficult lighting conditions. Without a tripod, exquisitely sharp, wide-angle shots work every time. The large angular field creates a dynamic yet natural effect. With excellent image quality from the widest aperture onwards, the Distagon T* 2/25 achieves great results – from interiors to stunning outdoor expanses. Useful features such as two aspheric lens elements surfaces to correct distortion and a floating elements design ensure that you can vividly capture details framed from your own, unique perspective.

Design
When wide angle views go to extremes and beg the control via an SLR viewfinder, which means that the back focal distance has to be much larger than the focal length, a retrofous design called Distagon is the right choice. It features Distagon with 11 lens elements in 10 groups, lens with aspheric optical surface, lens made of special glass with anomalous partial dispersion, and the "Floating Elements" design.

Aspherical design
The aspherical lens design ensures consistent imaging performance throughout the entire focusing range as well as sharpness to the periphery of the image. The asphere's more complex surface profile can reduce or eliminate spherical aberration and also reduce other optical aberrations compared to a simple lens.

Floating Elements Design
Today’s camera technologies and high-resolution sensors demand continuous improvement of lens performance. Thanks to the use of the latest floating element design principles, optical aberration effects in ZEISS lenses are reduced to a minimum throughout their entire focusing range. This is achieved by variation of the axial distance between individual lens elements or groups. This adjustment of the lens-to-lens distance is coupled to the distance setting to ensure correct compensation at all times. The mechanical construction of these lenses is extremely complex and they must be assembled with utmost precision – both of which are key competencies of ZEISS.

Virtually distortion-free optics
Dramatic perspectives and a view from extraordinary image angles – SLR lenses from ZEISS 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.

Ideal aperture with nine blades
Photographers want to guide the observer through the image. Minimal depth of focus is often used as a design element. This keeps the background intentionally blurred to keep the attention of the observer on the main subject. These different representations of the blurred areas, as well as the quality of the transition, are referred to as the Bokeh of a lens. The finely tuned features of the optical design on ZEISS SLR lenses ensure a particularly harmonious effect of the blurred areas of the image. The nine diaphragm blades and the resulting, virtually circular aperture on ZEISS SLR lenses are crucial to favorable rendition of highlights in the fore and background

High-Speed Lens
Impressive photographs captured in low light always begin with a fast lens for a system or SLR camera. Because, a fast, high-performance lens captures as much light as possible. And a lens with a large maximum aperture leads to the best results when shooting in unfavourable light.
