Add the compact Distagon T* 1.4/35 ZM to your rangefinder camera - and capture life's most beautiful moments in a special way.
Originally developed for SLR cameras, which still require a long focal length due to the mirror box (the distance between the rear lens and the film plane must be much greater than the focal length), the Distagon lenses (retrofocus design) also show their strengths to full advantage in mirrorless system cameras due to their optimized beam path. Even at longer focal lengths, the high-performance Distagon optics design can achieve uniformly good correction right into the image corners and very low image field curvature, even at very high initial apertures.
