The Distagon

* 3.5/35 lens is the super wide angle

lens in the Contax

645 autofocus system. The focal

length of 35 mm on the Contax

645 camera produces

images similiar to those from a 21 mm lens on a 35 mm
Contax

SLR. It is the lens of choice for dramatic wide

angle perspectives, an important tool for professional
landscape, advertising and industrial photography. The
Distagon

* 3.5/35 lens features a very uniform

corner-to-corner illumination, which is appreciated by

professionals who need to achieve a pleasing rendition

of blue sky areas in their landscape photos.

With its extreme angle of view it is also a very good lens

for documentation photography in cramped

surroundings. This situation is often encountered in

industrial photography, where subjects with many

intricate small and important details are to be captured.
Carl Zeiss designed the Distagon

* 3.5/35 lens to

provide the high optical performance needed to achieve

truly professional photo results with these detailed
subjects. The optical system of the Distagon

* 3.5/35

lens was designed using the latest technology,

incorporating internal focusing (IF) and the most recent

optical glass.
The maximum aperture of f/3.5 on the Distagon

3.5/35 lens is second to no other super wide angle lens

in medium format. At the other end of the aperture
scale the Distagon

lens can be stopped down to f/32,

thus enabling stunning depth of field effects in outdoor

nature photography, advertising and industrial

documentation.
Distortion of the Distagon

* 3.5/35 lens is well

controlled – a particular strength of retrofocus wide

angle lenses from Carl Zeiss, that benefits the

professional travel photographer.

Preferred use: dramatic wide vistas, landscapes, cities,

interiors, advertising, industrial, documentation
