Positioned as an all-around versatile lens for general shooting applications, the silver Biogon T* 35mm f/2 ZM from ZEISS is a flexible wide-angle prime for M-mount rangefinder cameras. Using a Biogon optical concept, along with one anomalous partial dispersion element, distortion is virtually eliminated and chromatic aberrations and color fringing are well-controlled for a clean, realistic image quality. A T* anti-reflective coating has also been applied to minimize lens flare and ghosting, and, additionally, the lens's manual focus design permits working with subjects as close as 2.3' away.

ZEISS Biogon T* 35mm f/2 ZM Reviews
Very nice lens
After running my first three rolls of film through this lens I am happy. The lens is clinical, so if you are looking for character, look elsewhere. But with clinical comes sharpness and good contrast (all black and white so far - so can't comment on color). That is plenty good for me - particularly at this price. Everything is smooth in terms of operation. The controls could be a little more pronounced, but that may simply be due to my giant hands.
Great manual focus lens of Sony A7rIV
I love the look this lens gives my images. It is my go to manual focus lens on the Sony A7rIV when I want a compact camera to carry around. The lens is very sharp in the center at all apertures. It easily resolves the A7rIV's 9504x6336 pixel sensor. The bokeh is pleasing, out of focus background highlights are round. Edges can be a bit soft at f2 but if you use a lens like this for the its character not clinical accuracy. If that is what your after go for the Sony G master 35 1.4 or the Sigma Art 35 1.4. I chose this lens over the Zeiss 35mm F1.4 ZM because of size and price. Given how well the Sony works at high ISO I don't miss the extra stop.
