Distagon T* 35mm f/2 ZS Lens for M42 Screw Mount

Pairing manual focus precision with a versatile wide-angle perspective, the Distagon T* 35mm f/2 ZS Lens from ZEISS is an ideal all-around lens that is particularly well-suited to journalistic applications. Featuring a fast f/2 maximum aperture, this lens also excels in difficult lighting conditions and offers fine-tuned control over selective focus placement. Utilizing the Distagon optical design with a floating element system which includes one element made from anomalous partial dispersion glass, distortion and aberrations are minimized and high sharpness is afforded edge to edge. Additionally, a Carl ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating has been applied to elements in order to suppress lens flare and ghosting for maintained contrast and clarity.

The sophisticated optical design is housed within a robust metal lens barrel, which features an aperture control ring with 1/2 EV click-stops. The manual focusing ring offers a dampened 113° rotation angle for fine-tuned control, and engraved depth of field and distance scales benefit the use of pre-focusing techniques. This ZS-series lens is designed for M42 universal screw mount cameras or adapters and does not support any electronic communication between the lens and camera.
