Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 2.8/21 ZE Ultra-Wide Angle Lens

Carl Zeiss launched the fourth lens in the ZE series for EOS cameras. The Zeiss Distagon T* 2.8/21 ZE is an ultra-wide angle lens designed for full-frame (D)SLR cameras, delivering a 90-degree field of view. Like the other Zeiss ZE lenses, it incorporates a CPU and data contacts for communication with the camera body. The lens is ideal for still photographers looking for a light-weight and compact wide-angle lens for architectural, location and landscape photography. It is also well suited for the growing number of videographers who use the 5D MKII or the 7D and need a lens with superior manual focusing control and minimal ‘breathing’.

The Zeiss Distagon T* 2.8/21 ZE will be available in the Autumn 2009 for $1,540.
