About this item
- MINIMIZED FOCUS SHIFT: ZEISS T ZM-mount lenses are specifically designed to minimize focus shift with aperture changes – an important innovation with big benefits for rangefinder photography. As a result, you can expect improved accuracy of the rangefinder-defined focus while the precise 10-blade aperture with 1/3 stop interval click stops ensures exact exposure.
- IDEAL APERTURE PROPERTIES: The finely tuned features of the optical design on ZEISS ZM lenses ensure a spectacualr bokeh, with particularly harmonious effect of the blurred areas of the image. The ten diaphragm blades and the resulting, virtually circular aperture on ZEISS SLR lenses are crucial to favorable rendition of highlights in the foreground and background.
- ROBUST DESIGN: The mount and control elements of all ZM lenses are made of metal and are designed for decades of intensive use. The high-quality craftsmanship of the all-metal mounts, the easy-to-grip metal focus and aperture ring and the robust front bayonet and filter threads ensure an amazing photographic experience.
- SMOOTH & PRECISE FOCUSING: Manually focusing a lens means controlling the image result from your fingertips. A good ergonomic design makes all the difference. The user-friendly focusing ring on ZEISS lenses with an ergonomic finger rest is perfect for fast, precise focusing. Changes are immediately visible in the viewfinder. The high-quality focusing mechanism moves smoothly without play, thus also supporting the intuitive interaction with the focal plane.
- ZEISS T ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATING: The optical elements of ZEISS lenses feature T anti-reflective coating on all surfaces and an optical design that guarantees images of superior brilliance at all times, even in unfavourable lighting conditions.

Would recommend 100%.
That said, this lens is crazy sharp and makes for great B&Ws. I can't decide if I want to return it. Forcing myself to shoot B&W is educational.
update: I've got to use this on a Leica M and I've got to say that the color issue is not nearly as pronounced. However, it is difficult to actually attach the lens to the camera compared to the Leica lenses I tried. Ugh! I really wanted to like this lens b/c the detail/sharpness are utterly awesome, but I can't say that I do. It does have great potential and maybe this is just a poor example, but I would want to force this lens on to a $7,000 camera very often(well, never to be honest). Bummer.
The ability for this lens to resist flare is amazing even without the hood, which does not come supplied. The Voightlander LH-6 hood will also fit this lens and it's about $20 less expensive should you want the hood.
Build quality seems good. Too bad it's not a 39mm filter thread.
