Carl Zeiss C Biogon T* 4,5/21 ZM user reviews


Review by: kleinrud on Jun 30th, 2008
Experience of this type of product: Average, Time product owned: Less than a month
This is one of the best wide-angle lens ever produced for 35mm photography. It is tack sharp up to the corners wide open or closed to f11. This is a unique feature. Distortion is non-existent, colours saturated, bokeh perfect.

The only major drawback is vignetting, as it is a nearly symmetrical design and the law of physics cannot be circumvented. For very serious work with slide film I would recommend a centre-filter, but for Leica M8 and other digital RFs nothing is required as one can correct this with software.

I have compared this lens with Leica nad Voigtlander optics and it shines.
