Lens Overview — Zeiss 35mm f/2 ZM
Key Features — Zeiss 35mm f/2 ZM
Biogon Optical Design: The symmetrical Biogon formula minimizes distortion and delivers high edge-to-edge sharpness across the full frame — a key advantage for architectural and street photography.
Zeiss T* Anti-Reflection Coating: T* multi-coating reduces flare and ghosting, maintaining contrast and color fidelity even when shooting toward light sources.
Leica M Mount: Natively compatible with Leica M-mount rangefinder bodies and mirrorless cameras using M-mount adapters, covering a broad range of systems.
f/2 Maximum Aperture: A wide f/2 opening allows shooting in low-light conditions and provides subject separation with background blur at a 35mm focal length.
Full-Frame Coverage: Designed to cover a 35mm full-frame image circle, ensuring no vignetting on full-frame M-mount bodies.
Compact 240g Build: At just 240g, the lens pairs naturally with the slim, lightweight profile of M-mount rangefinder bodies for all-day carry.
