Carl ZEISS Distagon T* - Wide-angle lens - 25 mm - f/2.8 ZF - Nikon F Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I first used the Zeiss ZF 25mm f/2.8 Distagon, it presented various minor optical shortcomings that induced me to avoid using it (as a sort of knee-jerk reaction). But to my surprise, the 25 Distagon has become one of my favorite lenses because of its unusual rendering, and the especially artistic way it "draws" at close range (every lens renders the world differently--don't waste your time on by-the-numbers lens reviews by clueless morons).
The 25 Distagon has the "problems" of strong vignetting and curvature of field wide open, but beautiful image rendition. Combine all three attributes appropriately and you will be rewarded.
The 25 Distagon also offers stunning image contrast and flare control, eminently suitable for difficult lighting and landscapes.

Superior wide-angle performance combined with extreme close-up potential. This all-round wide-angle lens features a MOD (minimum object distance) of only 6 cm from the front element. Its impressive sharpness is clearly beyond the best color films available today. It also features long-life all-metal barrel of very high precision.Compatibility of ZF Lenses:Nikon Nikkormat series, F, F2, F3, EL, FA, FE, FG, FM, FM2/A, FM3A;You can use the Carl Zeiss ZF-lenses on these cameras without limitations.
