Product Overview

Zeiss Planar T* 2/50 ZM is a high-end manual-focus normal prime lens for Leica M-mount. It covers the full-frame image circle and has 6 elements in 4 groups.
Unfortunately, Zeiss has opted to omit weather sealing for this lens, so owners should pay extra attention when shooting in incremental weathers.
A normal prime lens, the Carl Zeiss Planar T* 2/50 ZM does not boast the brightest apertures, though it still may be worth a try for landscape and street photography.
