Zeiss Distagon T* 35MM F/1.4 ZM Lens (Silver)

Marked as the fastest lens in the ZM family, the Zeiss Distagon T* 35MM F/1.4 ZM Leica M-Mount Lens offers a compact body yet not compromising the characteristics and performance of its imaging. The bright f/1.4 to f/16 aperture range helps in shooting in low-light conditions and provides greater control over depth of field. Its Two Aspherical Elements and Three Low Dispersion Elements helps suppress spherical and chromatic aberrations for high sharpness and clarity which is complimented by ZEISS T* Anti-Reflective Coating to every element to lessen lens flare and ghosting. This lens’ Manual focus design enables a minimum focusing distance of 2.3' while the 10-blade diaphragm gives a pleasing bokeh when shooting.

Product Features in Detail

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.

Smooth, precise focusing
Manually focusing a lens means controlling the image result from your fingertips. A good ergonomic design makes all the difference. The user-friendly focusing ring on ZEISS lenses with an ergonomic finger rest is perfect for fast, precise focusing. Changes are immediately visible in the viewfinder. The high-quality focusing mechanism moves smoothly without play, thus also supporting the intuitive interaction with the focal plane.

Robust design
The mount and control elements of all ZM lenses are made of metal and are designed for decades of intensive use. The high-quality craftsmanship of the all-metal mounts, the easy-to-grip metal focus and aperture ring and the robust front bayonet and filter threads ensure an amazing photographic experience

Excellent image quality
The range of ZEISS T*® lenses offers 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, for example. And virtually zero geometric distortion, ensuring precise accuracy when reproducing shapes – especially useful when photographing products and architecture.

ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating
The optical elements of ZEISS lenses feature T*® anti-reflective coating on all surfaces and an optical design that guarantees images of superior brilliance at all times, even in unfavourable lighting conditions. We apply the anti-reflective coating to the lens surfaces by the vapour deposition of extremely thin, transparent layers on the glass. In this process, special substances are vaporized with extremely high energy in a high-vacuum environment and are subsequently deposited on the glass surfaces, one after another, as layers with precisely controlled thicknesses to achieve the desired reduction of reflective properties. The first coating techniques were employed by ZEISS as long ago as in the 1930s.
