About this product

Product Information

Expand your photography skills with the Leica Zeiss 28mm f/2.8 Biogon T ZM (M mount) black lens. With a 75-degree field of view, these lenses are designed for capturing those special wide shots. Advanced flare control, precision shape reproduction, and minimal geometric distortion are just a few of the features that are built within these Leica 28mm lenses. With a multi-coating design, there is a reduction in reflection for its performance, resulting in an improved contrast and sharpness. The photographs that are produced are crisp, clear, and accurate. The Zeiss 28mm f/2 ZM Biogon T is a manual focus lens that weighs in at 8.5 ounces. The compact weight and size of this lens offers convenience when using it on the go. Its smaller size makes for easy attaching and detaching from your camera. With a minimum focal length of 2.3-feet, using the lens in tighter spaces for large spectrum photographs is always an option. The bokeh on this lens is comparable with that of the previous Leica Summicron-M 33mm f/2 and the Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH. The Leica Summicron-M 35mm f/2 ASPH lens is more similar in design and technology, but does weigh more than the Biogon lens. Expect printed image sizes of 52-inches by 35-inches when attaching this device to your camera. There is no known distortion reported when using the Leica Zeiss ZM 28mm f/2 with your 35mm camera. This is a big factor for desired photographs of wide-angle city shots. So, go ahead and capture those fine details in architectural and landscaping photographs. When shooting group photos, the smallest details that emerge with the absent background distortion make for treasured memories. The Leica Zeiss 28mm f/2.8 Biogon T ZM 28mm lens in black requires M46 x 0.75 filters. The updated design prevents the need for using incompatible filters that fit Nikon’s Rangefinder lenses manufactured between the 1940s and 1950s, which was the situation with the older Leica Zeiss 35mm Biogon lenses. The 28mm model lens when compared to the 35mm model has more compatibility with hoods as well. The 35mm lens required special attachments when hood use was desired. The 28mm lens offers an easy snap-on design without the need for special attachment rings. Clear photographs are achieved with the advanced design of the Leica Zeiss lenses. Ten aperture blades are featured on the Zeiss Biogon lens. The aperture optical focus range is 2.8 feet to 22 feet in distance. The focal length of you can expect is 25mm. The speed that this aperture range delivers means you get truer shots every time. With all of the capabilities for capturing clear wide angle images, the Biogon lens is often referred to as the Carl Zeiss model. When tested for is focal distance capabilities, the feedback for its performance was overwhelming. Close-up shots deliver the same level of clarity and beauty as longer shots that are captured. These lenses work well with most 35mm and 50mm cameras, including SLR (single-lens reflex) and SONAR digital designs

Quality Lens at Good Price
Looking for a 28mm lens for my Leica M type 240, I did a lot of research. Leica lenses are always good, but come with a hefty price tag. This Zeiss lens meets all my criteria for a solid lens, including good value. The lens is sharp, easy to focus and I am very pleased with the image quality on the Leica camera. Colors are vibrant, and bokeh is reasonable for a 28mm lens. Highly recommended!

Zeiss Biogon M mount 28mm f/2.8
This lens is excellent! Of course, it's a Zeiss!! Build quality is very good as one would expect for the price. Zeiss lenses, even the old ones from the 1930s, are probably some of the best in the world. It's not just the designs or quality control. Of course, when one pays the kinds of prices one does for Zeiss or Leica glass, one must believe it their quality. :-) But, seriously, I have never been disappointed by a Zeiss lens.
