Just landed on UK shores from Carl Zeiss is a ?super wideangle? 18mm lens for Nikon, Canon and Pentax SLRs, claimed to deliver ?dramatic perspectives?.
The Distagon T* 18mm f/3.5 is designed for landscape, architectural and close-up photography using 35mm film-based SLRs or full-frame digital SLR cameras.
Features include an all-metal mount and 99° field of view.
?Like all Carl Zeiss SLR lenses it uses the Zeiss ?colour matching technology?, which provides homogenous colour rendition across all focal lengths in the product range,? said a Zeiss spokesman.
?Even combined with a digital SLR using a DX-type sensor, this lens has an effective focal length of 27mm – providing an interesting wideangle perspective,? adds the firm
UK stockist Robert White Photographic has confirmed a UK retail price of around £875.
