Contax 17-35mm f/2.8 Vario Sonnar T* Lens for Contax N Series {95}

Extreme wide-angle, fast f/2.8 zoom lenses are among the preferred optics of today's photojournalists and travel photographers. For the Contax N SLR system, Carl Zeiss has designed an all-new Vario-Sonnar T* 17-35mm f/2.8 lens. With this zoom lens, Carl Zeiss has incorporated 3 aspheric surfaces along with lens elements from special types of optical glass to achieve an image quality comparable to very good fixed focal length lenses, especially at the super wide end. This is particularly beneficial since extreme wide-angle photos should be blown up large, like a double spread, to really deliver that special impression of super wide vistas. For this purpose of high enlargements convincing sharpness is mandatory. The Vario-Sonnar T* 17-35mm f/2.8 lens utilizes the full potential of modern color films and delivers images of impressive brilliance and sharpness.
