A classic wide-angle prime for M-mount rangefinders, the black Biogon T* 28mm f/2.8 ZM from ZEISS is a versatile lens well-suited to travel, landscape, and other documentary applications. Its Biogon optical design effectively eliminates distortion for well-corrected imagery and one anomalous partial dispersion element is used to reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for notable clarity. A T* anti-reflective coating has also been applied to individual elements to reduce lens flare and ghosting for greater color accuracy and contrast in strong lighting conditions. Additionally, the lens's manual focus design permits working with subjects as close as 1.6' away.

ZEISS Biogon T* 28mm f/2.8 ZM Reviews
Believe the other reviews! Worth every penny.
I read the other reviews and rented this lens and compared it to my 35 mm Summilux and my Leica Q2 28 mm Summilux. I shot the rented Zeiss 28mm and the Leica 35 mm on a Leica M11. I was so impressed with the Zeiss that I bought a silver version. It is a great lens. I disagree with any comment about the size as it is actually smaller than my Leica 35 mm Summilux ASPH (FLE). There is no reason to purchase the Summicron or the Summilux unless you need the faster lens or you just like the name Leica. Highly recommended as it is a very sharp lens, and the 6-bit coding is fairly easy to add. I own 4 Leica M lenses and now two Zeiss lens (other one - 21mm F2.8 ZM) and both the Zeiss are as good as the Leica optics.
Buy It, You'll Love It
I had great experiences with the Biogon 28mm variant with my Contax G system and assumed that this would also work well. I was correct. Almost imperceptible distortion and tack sharp. Balances nicely on my varied bodies. Great build quality and continues my satisfaction with the ZM line-up.
