The Distagon T* 2,8/25 lens from Carl Zeiss opens up vistas of translucent depth and sharpness. It is not afraid to come within just a few centimeters of the tiniest subject without losing sight of the bigger picture. When wide angle views go to extremes and beg the control via an SLR viewfinder, which means that the back focal distance has to be much larger than the focal length, a retrofous design called Distagon is the right choice. Noticeable quality and high value stability qualify ZEISS lenses for decades of intense use. The high-quality craftsmanship of the all-metal mounts, the easy-to-grip metal focus and aperture ring and the robust front bayonet and filter threads ensure an amazing photographic experience. Photographers want to guide the observer through the image. Minimal depth of focus is often used as a design element. This keeps the background intentionally blurred to keep the attention of the observer on the main subject. The Carl Zeiss range of T* lenses offers the highest possible standards in terms of performance, reliability and, of course, image quality. All lens elements in SLR lenses from Carl Zeiss feature the T* anti-reflective coating and an optical design that produces brilliant pictures even in unfavorable lighting conditions.
