Zeiss's M-mount 35mm — Biogon f/2 for rangefinders with T* coating at affordable pricing.
The Zeiss 35mm f/2 ZM is a manual-focus prime for Leica M-mount — the most popular ZM focal length. The Biogon-type formula provides excellent correction for the 35mm wide-angle perspective with Zeiss T* coating.
Optically good — sharp from f/4 with Zeiss T* flare control. The Biogon formula suits rangefinder cameras well. The 35mm f/2 specification matches the Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2 at a fraction of the cost. Manual focus with rangefinder coupling.
Leica M mount with 43mm filter thread. Compact and lightweight. Rangefinder coupled. All-metal construction. T* multi-coating. No electronic contacts. Manual focus.
Available used at mid-range prices — approximately 1/3 to 1/4 of the Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2 price. The most popular Zeiss ZM lens. For Leica M users wanting quality 35mm at accessible pricing. The Voigtlander 35mm f/1.4 Nokton is faster.
