Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 1.4/35 - 35mm f1.4 lens hire

Main features and specs:

This moderate wide-angle lens is as bright as the Planar T* 1,4/50 and T* 1,4/85 thus perfectly complementing this product range. Thanks to the excellent 'bokeh' in the out-of-focus areas, it opens up new possibilities in background design. Precise focusing mechanics featuring a wide rotational angle allow you to work accurately with different levels of sharpness to create an individual atmosphere. Whether reportage, portrait or landscape photography, the new Distagon T* 1,4/35 is a master of artistic expression.
