Distagon T* 2/35 and Distagon T* 2.8/35: Two new Carl Zeiss High-Performance Lenses with Nikon F-Mount
By Shutterbug Staff
 October 26, 2006 — Carl Zeiss has introduced two completely new wide-angle lenses for Nikon F
mount cameras. They cover the full 35mm frame and can be used on both analog
and digital SLR’s. The lenses focus manually and can produce sharpness
well beyond the capabilities of the best color films today. Both lenses feature
a long-life all-metal barrel of very high precision.
The Distagon T* 2/35 ZF is a versatile all-round lens with moderate wide-angle
coverage and high speed, a classic standard for photojournalistic work. Due
to its high performance, this lens can capture very detailed scenes with high
accuracy and information content.
The Distagon T* 2.8/25 is a lens with pronounced wide-angle characteristics.
It excels in dynamic architecture, landscape and travel photography. Its sharpness
goes far beyond any current color film. The minimum object distance of just
two inches from the front element enables unique wide-angle close-ups.
The new lenses will begin shipping at the end of 2006. The list prices are:
• Distagon T* 2/35 ZF: $824.00
• Distagon T* 2.8/25 ZF: $824.00
