Thornwood, N.Y. - The C Sonnar T* 1.5/50 ZM lens is the modern technological reincarnation of the classical Sonnar 1.5/50, the fastest standard lens of its time, for the Contax II rangefinder camera. The current C Sonnar T* 1.5/50 ZM is designed for the Zeiss Ikon rangefinder camera or for use with other rangefinder cameras taking the M bayonet mount.
It is fast, very resistant to flaring and unusually compact – therefore the “C” in the lens name. With its well controlled distortion, the lens produces a very accurate representation of objects. It can take the same filters which fit the ZM wide angle lenses with 21mm, 25mm and 28mm focal lengths. This is a very versatile lens for photojournalistic work in general and for available light photography in particular.
The Zeiss C Sonnar T* 1.5/50 ZM Lens will be available beginning August 2006 in a choice of chrome or black finish at a list price of $1,063.00.
