Product Overview

Zeiss Distagon T* 1.4/35 ZM is a high-end large-aperture manual-focus wide-angle prime lens for Leica M-mount. It covers the full-frame image circle. Introduced by Zeiss in 2014, it has 10 elements in 7 groups.
The bright maximum aperture for a wide-angle lens is appreciated for night photography, though some may prefer the perspective of an ultra wide-angle lens for this. 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. Those who like sunstars (sun bursts) will be pleased by the lens' even-numbered aperture count, though conversely those who find sunstars distracting may have the opposite feeling.
