Overview

The Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 2,8/15 is a manual-focus ultra-wide lens praised for exceptional sharpness, especially in corners, and superior build quality with a metal body and smooth focus ring. It offers low distortion and takes screw-in filters, a rarity for this focal length. Weaknesses include a high price (about 10x cheaper alternatives) and a lens cap that may loosen in cold weather. It suits full-frame shooters prioritizing optical quality over autofocus, particularly landscape and architectural photographers.
