Zeiss's fast Contax wide-standard — the Distagon T* 35mm f/1.4, manual-focus glass for the C/Y mount.

The Zeiss Distagon T* 35mm f/1.4 was a fast wide-standard prime for the Contax/Yashica mount, part of the Contax system from the mid-1970s and one of the flagship fast wides of the line. It paired a bright aperture with the Distagon retrofocus design.

This is a manual-focus C/Y-mount lens with a 35mm focal length and a maximum aperture of f/1.4. The wide maximum aperture made it a strong low-light and shallow-depth option at a wide focal length. Construction figures are omitted where they cannot be verified.

The 35mm f/1.4 combination suits reportage, street, documentary and available-light work, delivering subject separation unusual for a wide lens. Its rendering wide open is a large part of its appeal, tightening noticeably as it is stopped down.

This is a premium, sought-after lens that fetches high prices in good order. Check carefully for haze, fungus, coating scratches and clean aperture action, and confirm the focus is smooth given the demanding fast optics. A C/Y adapter allows use on mirrorless bodies.
