Characterized by its sleek form factor and versatility, the black C Biogon T* 35mm f/2.8 ZM from ZEISS is a notably compact wide-angle prime designed for M-mount rangefinder cameras. Its 'C' designation reflects the lens's compact form factor and classic optical design to produce imagery with true color fidelity and natural rendering. The Biogon optical concept helps to ensure virtually no distortion, and one anomalous partial dispersion element is also used to reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for improved clarity and color accuracy. Additionally, a T* anti-reflective coating has also been applied to reduce lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast in strong lighting conditions.

ZEISS C Biogon T* 35mm f/2.8 ZM Reviews
Superb Quality!
This lens delivers an ideal mix of sharpness, nice mid-tones, and the Zeiss characteristic '3D-pop” effect. It performs excellently in black and white images as well! Compact and well-made, with a 35mm focal length, it’s perfect for documentary photography projects.
You Won't Regret This One
For some reason, this was not being used much (for no good reason). I have the Aspherical 40 V'lander 1.2 and that was on my M6 most of the time. I started using my Hexar again and put the ZM 35 on it and it's been fantastic. I mainly do film duties with it but it's one of the optics that clicks on my Fuji bodies (not always the case with film-world lenses). It can feel a bit small if you have big meat hooks but I became comfortable with it quickly. Others mentioned that they questioned the mechanical aspects but my example is flawless and similar feeling to my Leica glass in almost every way. Now that I'm using it more, I'm appreciating how incredibly sharp it is but it also has a pleasant bokeh.
