Carl Zeiss Planar T 35mm f/2
Optical design
Has 7 aperture blades, mid-grade lenses usually have this amount of blades. Having rounded blades provides out of focus circle shape closer to a circle. Bright lens thanks to the high aperture valuePhysical characteristics
29 mm long, this small lens should be always in the camera bag. With a lens filter diameter of 46 mm you are one step from the next standard filter size, buy step-up ring and bigger filter but you can chose from plenty options. Weights 160 grams so convinient to carry.Carl Zeiss Planar T 35mm f/2 purchase historyStable

Best glass money can buy Permanently mounted on my fuji. This Zeiss lens is pure magic. Gorgeous rendering, amazing contrast. Don't know why it's not double the current price. Get one before the prices skyrocket.
Does distagon 3 times in value than a sonnar? check the distagon 35 price legendary lenes in film photography era. and it is a planar, quite rare. with the fast improving technics, I m sure one day it will be adapted to some digital camera bodies with automatic functional.
Wonderlens for Sony Nex I Bought that lens to use it with a Sony Nex camera. It's a magnificent Piece of Art; Contax and Carl Zeiss wanted to make it the equal of a Leica M lens, and it is probably the best lens among of the G lenses. To mount it on a Sony Nex you have to buy an adapter ring first. The adapter ring is important not only because it is necessary to mount it on the camera, but it is also the only way to focus (the ring includes the focusing ring for the lens)...there is no focusing ring on the lens which was supposed to be use with an autofocus camera. Considering that point, you wear a very valuable lens on your camera, nice to look, nice to touch. What about the quality of the image? Very good wide open, excellent when you close just one aperture. Cristal clear high definition pictures. If you can do without autofocus, and if you are looking for a very good lens, don't miss the Carl Zeiss Planar T 45mm f 2... if you can find one.Read full review
