Product Overview

Zeiss Biogon T* 2.8/28 ZM is a high-end manual-focus wide-angle prime lens for Leica M-mount. It covers the full-frame image circle and has 8 elements in 6 groups.
Unfortunately, Zeiss has opted to omit weather sealing for this lens, so owners should pay extra attention when shooting in incremental weathers.
As a wide-angle prime lens that happens to have relatively small maximum aperture, it is best suited for landscape photography, though some may wish for a brighter alternative for versatility. Even though the lens is not stabilized, at this focal range it does not usually matter. In fact, some may be able to get cleaner corners without image stabilization.
