| The Zeiss C Biogon T* 2,8/35 ZM lens will be available with a black or silver finish. |
Lens maker Carl Zeiss has added a compact wide prime to its ZM line of rangefinder lenses. The C Biogon T* 2,8/35 ZM weighs 7 ounces and extends 2.2 inches from the camera body, making it slightly smaller and lighter than Zeiss's other 35mm ZM optic, the Biogon T* 2/35 ZM. Zeiss says the Biogon construction minimizes distortion. The new f/2.8 lens has a minimum focus distance of 2.3 feet and a minimum aperture of f/22. It is compatible with cameras that have M-bayonet mounts, including Zeiss Ikon and Leica rangefinders, and takes M 43 x 0.75 filters.
The new lens will be available with a black or silver finish in mid 2008 for about $817.
