Zeiss ZF 21/2.8 Distagon

Like the rest of the Zeiss ZF line, contrast is exceptional with the ZF 21/2.8 Distagon. Canon users are going to want to look hard at the 21/2.8, even though it means shooting with a lens adapter, manual focus and manual stop-down (on EOS).

How many points on a ZF 21/2.8 Distagon diffraction star? Hint: it has 9 aperture blades.

This image is straight out of Capture NX2, no special processing, just great image quality that can easily be enhanced. At full screen on a 30" monitor, the effect is engaging
