Zeiss – Otus 28mm f/1.4 APO Distagon T* ZE – Canon
Bright-eyed and wide-angled, the Canon EF-mount Zeiss Otus 28mm f/1.4 ZE Lens for Canon EF is an optically-refined prime poised to deliver a high degree of resolution and clarity in nearly any shooting condition. Featuring an apochromatic design, and utilizing the Distagon concept to reduce distortion, this lens uses a series of eight anomalous partial dispersion glass elements and two aspherical elements to virtually eliminate chromatic and spherical aberrations throughout the aperture range. A floating elements system is also used for consistent performance throughout the focusing range and a ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating suppresses lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast and colour fidelity. Equaling the optical prowess of a Strigidae-inspired lens, the Otus 28mm f/1.4 is also characterized by a robust physical design for intuitive, exacting handling.
The wide-angle focal length pairs with the bright f/1.4 maximum aperture to suit working in a broad variety of lighting conditions and are well-suited to a range of applications, including landscape, architecture, and interior photography. Accentuating the range of control, this manual focus lens is complemented by haptic design elements, including a rubberized focus ring and an all-metal lens barrel with high-visibility yellow scale markings.
Key Features of the Zeiss Otus 28mm f/1.4 ZE Lens for Canon EF
- EF-Mount Lens/Full-Frame Format
- Two Aspherical Elements
- Aperture Range: f/1.4 to f/16
- Eight Low Dispersion Elements
Wide-angle prime
Wide-angle prime is designed for full-frame Canon EF-mount cameras, however, can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 44.8mm equivalent focal length
Distagon optical concept
Distagon optical concept affords high sharpness, well-corrected image quality from edge-to-edge, and very low field curvature
Impressively bright f/1.4 maximum aperture
Impressively bright f/1.4 maximum aperture is well-suited for working in low-light conditions and also provides greater control over the focus position when using shallow depth of field techniques
Apochromatic optical design
Apochromatic optical design utilizes eight anomalous partial dispersion elements to significantly reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations for increased clarity and colour fidelity
Manual focus design
Manual focus design is benefitted by focusing and depth of field scales, which are filled with a high-visibility yellow paint, along with hard stops at both infinity and minimum focusing positions
ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating
ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating has been applied to each lens surface to help minimize reflections and provide greater contrast and colour fidelity
Floating elements system
Floating elements system helps to maintain consistent image quality throughout the entire focusing range, from 129.9cm to infinity
All-metal lens barrel
The all-metal lens barrel has a frosted, anodized surface along with a rubberized focusing ring for both durability and improved tactile control
