Wide-angle lens for EOS (D)SLR cameras.
Carl Zeiss presents the Distagon T* 2/28 with EF bayonet.
Thornwood, NY � Carl Zeiss introduces the wide-angle lens Distagon T* 2/28 ZE
with EF bayonet, suitable for all analog and digital EOS camera models. With
an initial aperture opening of 1:2, it is among the fastest lenses of its kind
in its focal length. From landscape photography at dawn to interior shots under
available light, the Distagon T* 2/28 ZE offers photographers plenty of room
for creativity for hand held photography. Following the recent introduction
of its two ultra-wide-angle lenses, the Distagon T* 3,5/18 ZE and the T* 2,8/21,
the new Distagon T* 2/28 ZE is Carl Zeiss� first moderate wide-angle lens with
EF bayonet.
Despite its fast aperture and complex retro-focus construction, the Distagon
T* 2/28 ZE has a compact build. These characteristics make the lens a highly
versatile and performance-driven tool for all types of photographers. Even with
its wide angle, the lens enables photographers to play fully with an image�s
depth of focus. With a wide aperture opening, for example, one can effectively
separate the motif from its background. With a small aperture opening, photographers
can use the sharpness of the lens system for the entire image range. It is also
ideally suited for shooting HD video due to its wide focus rotation, superb
image quality and minimal breathing characteristics.
The floating elements design guarantees high imaging performance each time,
from close-ups to infinity, enabling the photographer to make razor-sharp close-up
images of even the tiniest objects. Thanks to the Carl Zeiss T* anti-reflective
coating and meticulously crafted lenses, the new Distagon T* 2/28 ZE deals effortlessly
with reflections and stray light. Brilliant pictures work every time, even under
tough lighting conditions such as a breaking dawn.
