Description — Zeiss 25mm f/2.8 ZF T*
The Zeiss 25mm f/2.8 Distagon ZF T* is a prime, manual focus wide-angle lens designed for Nikon F-mount DSLR cameras. It covers the full-frame format and operates at a fixed focal length of 25mm, placing it firmly in wide-angle territory. The maximum aperture of f/2.8 provides a reasonable degree of light transmission for a wide-angle prime.
There is no image stabilization, so a steady hand or appropriate shutter speed management is important when shooting handheld. The lens accepts 58mm screw-on filters, giving photographers access to a widely available and cost-effective range of filter accessories. At 480g, it strikes a practical balance between build substance and portability.
Being a prime lens with manual focus only, it is designed for photographers who prioritize intentional, controlled shooting and optical consistency over convenience. The Nikon F mount ensures compatibility across the Nikon F-mount DSLR ecosystem at full-frame coverage.
