The Amazing Zeiss 35MM Distagon ZM

On assignment with Jorge Torralba Views: 118
I posted this image as a follow up to a review I did on the Zeiss 35 Distagon vs the Leica 35 Summilux FLE. I had recently stumbled onto a great deal for a Summilux 35mm FLE, and I’ll admit, it was tempting. Really tempting. But before pulling the trigger, I took the Distagon out for a walk today and snapped a few frames around town. That was all it took to remind me why I love this lens and will never find a replacement for it.

Captured with the Zeiss and processed using the Velvia 50 preset in DxO Film Pack 8, this shot perfectly illustrates why the Zeiss remains my all time favorite 35. There is a specific pop to the Zeiss that is hard to beat.

The Zeiss Distagon 35mm f/1.4 ZM is widely considered one of the absolute finest 35mm lenses ever created for the Leica M system. While it carries a slightly larger footprint than standard M mount glass, its clinical sharpness, flawless micro contrast, and legendary rendering far outweigh any negatives of its size. This diverse collection of images highlights just how practical and reliable it is in any shooting scenario. Simply put, the performance of this lens is Amazing !
