Zeiss ZM 35mm f/2.8 C-Biogon

Zeiss ZM 35mm f/2.8 C-Biogon

The Zeiss ZM 35mm f/2.8 C-Biogon is relatively inexpensive at about $860 (optional lens hood additional). Its compact form factor will appeal to shooters looking for the smallest and lightest option with very high performance at reasonable cost.

The 35/2.8 C-Biogon is very small and to your author this is not a plus; the significantly larger ZM 35/1.4 Distagon feels just right. Of course, lens size is very much a personal preference.

The 35/2.8 focused to infinity just shy of the hard infinity stop on your author’s Leica M Typ 240; never assume that the infinity stop is exact on any particular camera body.
