There is nothing that beats natural light when it comes to creating a powerful, authentic impression. But to make the most of dimly lit situations, you need a fast lens that highlights even the smallest details. This compact, moderate wide-angle lens is optimized to reduce stray light & reflections & is well suited for difficult lighting conditions. The combination of focal length & lens speed makes it suitable for a broad spectrum of applications. In the half-light of dawn or at dusk, or in interior spaces, the Distagon T* 2/28 lens is the perfect companion for the more daring photographer. It is at its best when the lights are low. Without forcing itself into the foreground, it discovers & highlights the details that would otherwise be lost in the dark. Manually focusing a lens means controlling the image result from your fingertips. A good ergonomic design makes all the difference. ZEISS lenses stand out with their large rotation angle which enables precise focusing. Changes are immediately visible in the viewfinder. The high-quality focusing mechanism moves smoothly without play, thus also supporting the intuitive interaction with the focal plane. The precise engraving in meter & feet, & the depth of focus scale provide additional support for manually focusing.
