PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 18mm f/4 is one of the widest prime lenses that Carl Zeiss manufactured in the now defunct C/Y mount. Distagon T* 18mm f/4 is a classical Zeiss manual lens. The optical construction of the lens consists of 10 elements in 9 groups, including a single floating low dispersion glass element for correcting chromatic aberration at close range. The build quality of the lens is superb, a common trait of Zeis lenses in C/Y mount - barrel is metal and both focus and aperture rings are rubberized. The lens looks as if it has an inner focusing mechanism, but the lens barrel actually extends (very) slightly when focusing towards closup. The lens is relatively compact and lightweight (for such an ultra-wide lens), measuring 7.0 x 5.15cm (2.75 x 2in) and weighing 350g (12.3oz). The minimum focusing distance is 30cm (1ft) and the minimum aperture is f/22. The lens accepts 86mm screw-in type filters, but requires a 70mm/86mm adapter ring. On an APS-C cameras with 1.6x crop ratio, the lens has field of view similar to that of a 28mm lens on a full-frame body.
