    Overview

    The Carl Zeiss Distagon 45mm f/2.8 C645 is a wide-angle lens for medium format, offering sharpness across the frame and minimal distortion. Its solid construction and large rubber focusing ring aid handling, but it is noted as heavy and somewhat long for a wide-angle. On the Leica S, autofocus has a slight lag when waking from sleep. It suits landscape photographers who value Zeiss optical quality and are willing to accept the weight and price.
