Want to break out that rangefinder? There’s a new Zeiss Lens in town. From Pop Photo’s review:

    • Lens maker Carl Zeiss has added a compact wide prime to its ZM line of
    • rangefinder lenses. The C Biogon T* 2,8/35 ZM weighs 7 ounces and
    • extends 2.2 inches from the camera body, making it slightly smaller and
    • lighter than Zeiss’s other 35mm ZM optic, the Biogon T* 2/35 ZM. Zeiss
    • says the Biogon construction minimizes distortion. The new f/2.8 lens
    • has a minimum focus distance of 2.3 feet and a minimum aperture of
    • f/22. It is compatible with cameras that have M-bayonet mounts,
    • including Zeiss Ikon and Leica rangefinders, and takes M 43 x 0.75
    filters.

Yum.
