New Carl Zeiss C Biogon T* f2.8/35mm ZM Completes Any Compact Photography Equipment

Thornwood, New York - As the latest member of the ZM lens family, the C Biogon T* 2.8/35 ZM lens is the perfect addition to your light, mobile photo equipment. The C Biogon T* 2.8/35 ZM will inspire you with perfect images, even at full aperture. Together with the compact C Biogon T* 4.5/21 ZM, it creates the ideal equipment for a wide range of applications such as documentation and architecture photography.

The "C" in the title indicates another outstanding feature: rather unusual for a lens of this performance class, its moderate speed of 1:2.8 permits an exceptionally compact construction. The symmetrical Biogon construction with 7 lens elements in 5 groups allows for practically distortion-free images.

The ZM lens series from Carl Zeiss is suitable for cameras with M-bayonet. As with the other lenses in this line, the C Biogon T* 2,8/35 ZM features an intuitive operating concept, a robust all-metal frame and a precise, noticeable click in 1/3 aperture stops.

Delivery of this lens is scheduled to begin in mid 2008.
