Biogon optical concept benefits the wide-angle focal length by helping to virtually eliminate distortion for clean, realistic rendering.
One anomalous partial dispersion element reduces chromatic aberrations and color fringing for improved color accuracy and clarity.
Zeiss T* anti-reflective coatings have been applied to each lens surface to help minimize reflections in order to provide greater image clarity, contrast, and color fidelity.
Manual focus design enables a minimum focusing distance of 2.3'.

ZEISS Biogon T* 35mm f/2 ZM Reviews

Very nice lens

By Doug
Rated 5 out of 5

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.
