Manufacturer description: Undoubtedly, the new high performance standard in M-system lenses. It is based on the famous Carl Zeiss Planar® lens design concept, a symmetrical combination of 6 optical elements in 4 groups. So count on exceptionally high resolving power, evenly distributed performance over the entire frame, and superb control over flare and ghosting. This lens opens up inspiring possibilities for all-round photography, documentation and photojournalism.
