It is hard to write anything critical about the Zeiss Distagon 28 mm f/2.0 T* since the lens is almost free of any cons whatsoever. Everyone who decides to purchase this lens, although investing a big sum of money, will be satisfied. Great optical and build qualities will guarantee long-term durable usage whether connected to a full frame camera body or to one equipped with an APS-C/DX diaphragm. The two small cons that we discovered above are not really very troublesome and would be very difficult to avoid in a wide-angle lens with good aperture anyway. All these qualities will encourage owners to keep the Zeiss on their camera bodies at all times.
