Zeiss 25mm f2.8 Distagon T* Lens

I picked up the Zeiss 25mm f2.8 Distagon T* lens in M42 mount for use on my Sony A7II digital camera and my Bessaflex TM film camera. After a couple of outings with this lens I am completely enamored with it. The lens is simply brilliant! So, let's look at some photos.

The Kanagawa Prefecture History Museum - a good test for architectural capabilities of the semi-wide angle lens

Likewise the Yokohama Customs House.

As usual Nicky and Nicole are willing to pose for a picture.

Another shot of the Yokohama Customs House.

I'm really enjoying the perspective that the 25mm provides.

Venturing out on the Yokohama International Passengers Terminal.

It's a beautiful day for a photography walk-about.

The Minato-Mirai skyline.

I bought this lens out of curiosity; who knew it would be so much fun to use.

The Royal Wing Dinner Cruise Ship pulling away from the pier.

Shuffling through Yamashita Park.

I call this "View From A Park bench"

An aerial shot of Motomachi

Now we tackle the crowd scene of China Town.

For a manual focus lens this is quite easy and fast to nail the picture.

The white specks in the sidewalk are pieces of broken pottery.

Point, shoot, and keep moving.

Always a crown here in China Town.

Saying goodbye to China Town for now.

There is no escaping the Colonel.

A quick excursion through the Noge district.

It's been said that the 35mm lens is best for street photography... I guess the people saying that have never used a 25mm lens.

Kind of a cliche shot but what the heck.

More open spaces in front of the Yokohama Museum of Art.

The mighty Nippon Maru!

A final shot of the Minato-Mirai district.

The Zeiss 25mm f2.8 Distagon T* lens, if you don't have one, get one - you won't regret it!

Thanks for stopping by!
