Zeiss ZF line officially discontinued (ZF.2 carries on)

The Zeiss ZF line is officially discontinued, though some lingering samples can be found at B&H Photo.

The electronic aperture ZF.2 line takes up the banner, and who knows what additions this year will bring?

The electronic aperture control is well worth it for me, because I test things all the time, and I need the lens data information automatically, especially the aperture (no more “Non cpu lens data” machinations). I’ve upgraded most of my lenses, though not all. as yet.

You can read more about ZF.2 vs ZF. The remaining ZF lenses can be had for about 20% less than the ZF.2 model. See my handy wish list.

My favorites of the line include the 100/2, the 50/2, the 21/2.8 and the 35/2. See my Guide to Zeiss ZF.2 / Zeiss ZE Lenses.
