Zeiss Distagon T* 18mm f/3.5 ZE Wide Angle Lens Canon EF Mounts

The Distagon T* 18mm f/3.5 for Canon EF Mount by Carl Zeiss is an ultra wide angle prime lens that is ideal for capturing breathtaking moments in dramatic perspectives. The Distagon T* 18mm f/3.5 offers excellent image performance over the entire image field. The precision floating elements design offers constant high performance over the entire distance range from 0.3 m (0.98 ft) to infinity. Optimum reflection absorption combined with the Carl Zeiss T* anti-reflex coating allow for brilliant pictures even under difficult lighting conditions. Extremely contrasting edges are captured without color fringes due to the optimal color correction. Even combined with a digital SLR using a DX type sensor, this lens has an effective focal length of 27 mm, providing an interesting wide angle perspective. This Distagon T* 18mm f/3.5 lens has the Canon EF bayonet mount. Above all, it is ideal for landscape, architecture and commercial photographers.

The manually focusable ZE lenses (for EF mount) feature electronic shutter control and additional electronic contacts to the camera. All existing exposure programs (P, AV, TV, M) and the AF confirmation function of the camera are supported; lens information (focal length and speed) is passed on to the camera. Certain functions that require the use of AF lenses (various scene modes, A-DEP) are partially unavailable.
