Questions & Answers

Eric J : Hey there, Just inquiring how long before you get this Zeiss 35mm lens in stock? Cheers Mate. Regards, Eric Jenney
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?HAL I : Looks like best and sharpest light weight 35mm lens for my Leica M7Christopher R M : Should have gotten a 35mm for my M back in the 70s. At 3300 they are a little over the top price wise. Zeiss is the only manufacturer I believe would have similar optical quality. Went for the 2.8 because of smaller size... also 2.0 on backorder

A Must Have 35mm lens for Leica M mount

One of the best 35mm lenses I have ever used, especially for the price. Very sharp throughout its aperture range.

Good, not better

Compact, nice build. The focusing tab is a little difficult to use compared to Leica but it’s less than half the price

Zeiss 35mm f/2.8 C Biogon T* ZM

I wanted to get a back-up 35mm lens to use with my Leica CL & M2. This lens is nothing short of astounding. It equals the performance of the Leica 35mm f/2.0 pre-asph Summicron. I have a Summicron, and I did side-by-side comparisons. The Biogon is extremely well built, with smooth focusing and f/stop detents. Small profile, slightly longer than the Summicron. Light-weight. I use this as an everyday, walkabout lens. I could easily use it as a travel lens. The f/stops are measured in 1/3rd settings. I shoot with B&W film, and do my own processing & printing. Negatives are sharp, with good contrast. I would recommend this lens w/out reservation.
