Advanced Optical Design. The Zeiss ZM 15mm f/2.8 Distagon for Leica features a fast f/2.8 aperture, allowing for low-light, hand-held photography under difficult lighting conditions. The lens incorporates a very complex optical design using exotic materials such as barium-dense flint with a high refractive index and fluor crown with anomalous partial dispersion. It uses aspheric lens elements and an internal-focusing mechanism for distortion-free images and consistent performance over the whole frame and across the entire focusing range. The lens is ideal for architectural and interior photography, providing images with virtually no distortion.

Manual-Focus Design. This lens’s manual-focusing design gives you precise control over focusing, while its 11.8-inch minimum focusing distance gets you plenty close to your subject. The internal-focusing design

Please note: This lens is not rangefinder coupled, meaning you’ll have to estimate distance or use a distance scale to focus. By design, this lens exhibit noticeable vignetting in the corners at all apertures. We offer the Zeiss Center Filter for ZM 15mm f/2.8 Distagon as a separate rental item. This filter compensates for the natural vignetting effect and provides even tonal reproduction across the image field.
