Pre-order: ZM 35mm f/1.4 Distagon (black) or ZM 35mm f/1.4 Distagon (silver).

An infinity-focus scene is a demanding test where lens weaknesses are seen at their maximum. If present, field curvature, optical asymmetries, etc all pop out like mushrooms after a rain. In my testing over the years, many if not most lenses fail in some way at this test.

The ZM 35/1.4 Distagon exemplifies the very best I have seen for a 35mm lens.

Aperture Series: 'Exfoliating Granite and High Cloud Sun Drama' (M240)
