An excellent choice for snapshots and landscapes, this bright F1.4 35 mm ZEISS Distagon® full-frame lens makes it easy to shoot without a tripod at night and in low-light interiors. The shallow depth of field at large apertures and 9-blade circular diaphragm make it easy to create smooth bokeh in the background of your portraits or wedding photos. Thanks to the large F1.4 aperture, you'll achieve a unique range of images. The minimum focusing distance of 30 cm is ideal for flowers or similar subjects.
