Characterized by its speed and sophisticated design, the black Distagon T* 35mm f/1.4 ZM from ZEISS is a wide-angle prime for M-mount rangefinder cameras. Balancing the versatile wide focal length is the notably bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, which aids in working in low-light conditions and also affords greater control over depth of field. The Distagon optical design, which helps to reduce distortion, is benefitted by the inclusion of both aspherical and anomalous partial dispersion elements to further suppress spherical and chromatic aberrations for high sharpness and clarity. A floating elements system is also employed to maintain image quality throughout the focusing range, even at the minimum focusing distance of 2.3', and a T* anti-reflective coating has been applied to individual elements to control lens flare and ghosting.

ZEISS Distagon T* 35mm f/1.4 ZM Overview
Wide-angle lens employs a Distagon optical concept to realize well-corrected imagery with virtually no distortion.
Fast f/1.4 maximum aperture benefits working in low-light conditions and also offers increased control over depth of field for selective focus shooting.
Two aspherical elements help to reduce spherical aberrations in order to realize a high degree of sharpness.
Three anomalous partial dispersion elements reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for improved color accuracy and clarity.
ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating has been applied to each lens surface to help minimize reflections and provide greater contrast and color fidelity.
Floating elements design helps to maintain consistent image quality throughout the focusing range.
Manual focus design enables a minimum focusing distance of 2.3'.
A 10-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when working with selective focus techniques.

question
Ok, this question may sounds stupid but I am so curious. For the same Zeiss Distagon 35mm f1.4 lens, is there any quality difference between E-mount and Leica M-mount?
ZEISS does not offer a 1.4/35 lens for the Sony E-mount cameras. However, your question could also apply to the differences between the Distagon 1.4/35 ZM for M-mount cameras and the new Milvus 1.4/35 for F and EF mount cameras. While the focal length and aperture are the same, the lenses have different optical and mechanical designs. The former does not have an auto-aperture feature and is designed for a shorter flange focal distance, both of which helps to keep the size and weight low. The latter features and auto-aperture (meaning the aperture closes down during the exposure, than opens fully after to keep the viewfinder bright) and is designed for cameras with a longer flange distance. Despite these differences, both lenses are designed to produce high image quality on the cameras for which they were designed.
