Zeiss Ikon Telephoto 85mm f/1.4 Planar T* ZK Series Manual Focus Lens for Pentax K-Mount Cameras

[
Zeiss Ikon 85mm f/1.4 Planar T* ZK Manual Focus Lens is short telephoto classic portrait focal length which is further enhanced by the long barrel rotation for precise control of the focus point in the image. The Planar T* 14/85 is optimized for medium to longer distances and provides distortion-free performance which only improves as the lens is stopped down. The fast f/1.4 aperture is very useful for creatively controlling the depth of field and the nearly circular diaphragm creates a pleasing 'bokeh' in the out-of-focus areas. The Planar T* 14/85 is available with the F bayonet (ZF) and K bayonet (ZK) lens mounts and is designed for use with full-frame SLR and DSLR cameras. Combined with a DSLR with a 1.5 crop factor the lens becomes a focal length of 128 mm.

  • Its shallow depth of field at wide apertures allows the use of selective focus to emphasize the primary subject by defocusing the background

  • The 9-blade circular aperture produces a smooth and natural rendition of defocused images as well as nearly circular shapes of point sources of light

  • Geometrical distortion is imperceptibly low allowing high quality documentation photographs both analog and digital

Zeiss Biogon T 2.8/25mm ZM Black

[
Biogon T* 2.8/25 ZM The specialist for architecture and landscape... This lens features outstanding brilliance and resolution at all apertures and is a powerful addition to the 35 mm "standard wide-angle" lens. This 9-element lens is based on the symmetric Carl Zeiss Biogon design. Its stunningly high image quality and invisibly low distortion make this lens a creative tool for wide vistas exciting landscapes cityscapes and architecture. Why M-mount? For more than 50 years now passionate 35 mm photographers have been embracing the M-mount rangefinder camera system. From the lens designer's perspective a rangefinder camera offers an exciting advantage over single lens reflex (SLR) cameras: more space. After all there is no moving reflex mirror and drive mechanism. This allows for a short distance between the last lens element and the film meaning more opportunities for designing of superior lens types including high performing wide-angle lenses. A passion ready for the challenge For our lens designers the chance to develop the Carl Zeiss family of T* ZM-mount lenses was a dream come true. They were free to follow their passion in pursuit of perfection in lens performance taking full advantage of our uncompromising symmetric lens designs. The only limitation was to reserve 15 mm in front of the film for the TTL exposure metering commonplace in M-mount cameras. The result is a complete range of the most advanced M-mount lenses ever made

  • The Carl Zeiss range of T* ZM-mount lenses offers the highest possible standards in terms of performance reliability and of course image quality.

  • Virtually zero geometric distortion for accurate reproduction of object shapes particularly products and architecture

  • Reduces unintended focus shift with aperture variation for improved accuracy of rangefinder defined focus

  • Precise 10-blade aperture with 1/3 stop interval click stops ensures exact exposure

  • Wear resistant filter mount for long-term reliability in tough conditions

Zeiss 35mm f/2 Distagon T* ZE Manual Focus Standard Lens Kit for Canon EOS SLR Cameras with Tiffen 58mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit Lens Cap Leash Professional Lens Cleaning Kit

Distagon T* 2/35 ZE. The high-speed moderate wide-angle Distagon T* 2/35 ZE fits all analog and digital EOS cameras. Its classic 35mm focal length is particularly well-suited for advertising travel and nature photography as it captures dynamic perspectives with high depth of focus and few distortions. With a moderate wide angle of 53 degrees (horizontal) the Distagon T* 2/35 ZE can easily capture wide scenery without forcing photographers to consider perspective effects as design elements as they would have to with shorter focal lengths. The relatively short angle of rotation of the precision focusing mechanism enables fast but precise focusing when required For the growing number of photographers and videographers using DSLR's for movie making the Distagon T* 2/35 ZE is one of four prime lenses making a core set joining the Distagon T* 2/28 ZE Planar T* 1.4/50 ZE and Planar T* 1.4/85 ZE. These lenses are well suited for HD video applications due not only to their exceptional image quality but for the smooth focus and long focus rotations. The Distagon T* 2/35 ZE features high image quality for the entire aperture and focusing range. Thanks to its sophisticated optical design in which nine lens elements are perfectly aligned it permits particularly high imaging performance across the entire image field. When a tripod is not available the fast f/2 aperture allows easily handling under low light making perfect pictures possible[]More detail ...

ZF.2 lenses support all key modes (e.g. aperture priority shutter priority program AE or manual exposure settings) on camera models equipped with an electronic interface (e.g. current Nikon DSLR cameras). To do so simply lock the aperture ring in the largest f-stop On camera models without an electronic interface the aperture is manually set on the lens aperture ring. With some camera models it is possible to set in the menu whether the lens should be selected using the setting dial on the camera or the aperture ring on the lens. Please note that for technical reasons there is no halfway notch between the largest and second largest f-stop. The focused distance is not transmitted to the camera body. For details regarding metering modes and further functions please check the cameras manual. The ZF.2 lenses accord to the Nikon AI-P standard (manual focus lenses with CPU).

Zeiss 18mm f/3.5 Distagon T* ZE Series Lens for Canon EOS Digital SLR Cameras

Whether shooting the elegant lines of the Eiffel Tower or the vast expanses of the Grand Canyon both situations require a lens field wide enough to reveal the unique and full dimensions of each image. With the new Distagon T* 35/18 from Carl Zeiss EOS camera users now have an ultra-wide-angle lens at their disposal while benefiting from all the other optical qualities that ZEISS lenses are well-known for. The lens's extremely wide 99°-angle view is suitable especially for full-frame sensor cameras deliveringan array of new creative possibilities. From landscape and architecture photography to advertising images cameras equipped with the new Carl Zeiss wide-angle lens meticulously capture once-only moments and spectacular perspectives. Despite its short focal length the Distagon T* 35/18 ZE has an extremely compact design compared to other zoom lenses in its category. Internal focusing also helps to reduce its size while delivering extremely precise and smooth focus control. To prevent image aberrations during close-ups internal lens groups are repositioned individually during focusing in what is called a floating elements design. This allows the Distagon T* 35/18 ZE to deliver exceptionally high quality - from extreme close-ups to infinity. Thanks to the ZEISS T*s anti-reflective coating and meticulously crafted lenses the ZEISS T* is not affected by reflections or stray light.

Zeiss 50mm f/2.0 Makro Planar ZE Manual Focus Macro Lens for Canon EOS SLR Cameras

With the introduction of the Makro-Planar T* 2/50 Carl Zeiss expands its existing ZE line of lenses for EF-mount cameras. Owners of EOS camera models can now create detail-rich macro images that allow the effective use of both sharpness and unsharpness to be deployed as creative elements. These fast versatile lenses are also perfect as standard focal lengths for portraits or still life photography. Even in tricky lighting situations such as dusk the Makro-Planar T* 2/50 creates distortion-free images thanks to its extraordinary fast aperture. Whether capturing an insect resting on a flower or the moisture on a piece of fruit these lenses allow a degree of sharpness that was hitherto impossible. Even with a maximum aperture opening and a low focal depth the desired image can be easily isolated from its surroundings. The macro lens renders objects in close-up on a scale of 1:2. To enable such detail this lens includes Carl Zeiss's acclaimed "floating elements" design. This special lens alignment enables high optical performance across the entire focusing range from 0.24m to infinity.[]More detail ...
