PRODUCT INFORMATION

ZEISS BIOGON T* f/2.8 28mm ZM

Classic, wide-angle focal length

  • Due to excellent flare control, even very bright sources of light can be integrated successfully into the picture.
  • The compact wide-angle design makes it easy to transport and ideal for dynamic city, landscape and architectural photography.
  • Offers outstanding distortion control over the entire frame.

 

This classic, wide-angle focal length with a moderate perspective complements the standard 50 mm focal length. The Biogon T* 2.8/28 ZM exhibits crisp detail without distortion at full apertures, even at the close-focus range. The optical construction minimizes flare, enabling photography against a strong back light without compromising image quality.

This lens has the widest angle of view that can be used with the integrated viewfinder on the Zeiss Ikon rangefinder camera; an additional 25/28 mm viewfinder is available.

Combined with a digital rangefinder camera with a 1.3 crop factor, the lens has an effective focal length of 36 mm ideal for reportage style photography. The Biogon T* 2.8/28 ZM is ideal for travel photography and is also well suited for group and interior photographs when space is at a premium and wide-angle distortion needs to be minimized.
