The Flexible Selector
This extremely fast, short telephoto lens incorporates a modern lens design and manufacturing processes to deliver uncompromising image quality. The Sonnar T* 2/85 ZM is manufactured in Germany and utilizes floating lens elements to provide excellent sharpness and distortion-free images across the entire focusing range. The lens has a very wide and precise focus rotation to help with critical focusing. With a fast f/2 aperture, the photographer can use selective depth of field to separate the subject from the foreground and background. The Sonnar T* 2/85 ZM features a non-linear rangefinder coupling mechanism and engages the 85 mm viewfinder frame line when used with the Zeiss Ikon rangefinder camera. Combined with a digital rangefinder camera with a 1.3 crop factor, the lens has an effective focal length of 111 mm.
