Carl Zeiss 35mm f2 Distagon ZE

The Carl Zeiss 35mm f/2 Distagon ZE is a full-frame wide-angle prime built on Zeiss's Distagon optical design, which is engineered to control distortion even at this wide a focal length. A low-dispersion element helps keep color fringing to a minimum, and Zeiss's coatings maintain contrast and resist flare in backlit or high-contrast scenes.

With an aperture range of f/2 to f/22, it handles everything from dim interiors and environmental portraits at f/2 to deep-focus landscape or architectural work stopped down. Its all-metal manual-focus barrel gives smooth, precise focus throw, making it a reliable choice for both photography and cinema-style manual pulls.
