Zeiss 28mm f/2 Distagon ZF T* AIS Manual Focus Lens for Nikon F-Mount Review

The Zeiss 28mm f/2 Distagon ZF T* is a manual-focus prime lens designed for Nikon F-mount cameras. Part of Zeiss's legacy ZF line, it features the company's renowned T* anti-reflective coating and the classic Distagon optical formula. With a fast f/2 maximum aperture and a 58mm filter thread, it's built for low-light shooting and demanding optical performance.

This is a legacy product now available primarily on the used market. The 28mm focal length sits squarely in the wide-angle range, useful for environmental portraiture, street photography, and interiors. Being a fully manual lens, it requires focus confirmation aids or experience with manual focusing techniques. It's compatible with both film and digital Nikon F-mount bodies, though metering capabilities will depend on the camera body.
