Carl Zeiss introduced of a new series of lenses for the semi-professional Nikon DSLR cameras: the ZF.2 with F bayonet. All of them are equipped with a built-in CPU to transmit EXIF data and support a range of photographic functions.

The new ZF.2 series are targeted at photo enthusiasts who need creative freedom and high-quality images as well as comfort of automatic settings for a change. As Martin Klottig, Marketing Manager of the Camera Lens Division at Carl Zeiss AG, says : “The ZF.2 lenses are ideal tools for photographers who want to concentrate more on the subject than on their camera equipment.”

There is a total of  8 ZF.2 lenses, with two 50mm optics in the line-up, first five of which will be available from the end of November, and the release of the last two is scheduled to Spring 2010.

• The 18mm F3,5
• The 21mm F2,8
• The 35mm F2
• The 50mm F1,4
• The 50mm F2
• The 85mm F1,4
• The Distagon T* 2/28 ZF.2
• The Planar T* 2/100 ZF.2 Macro

As you see, all of them are fixed focal length lenses that are known for their high light sensitivity and precise manual handling.

The lenses’ electronic interface (CPU) allows them to support all- important operations such as the automatic mechanisms for time, aperture setting and program. The CPU also supports manual exposure settings, including those for camera casings that are not AI-compatible.

The lenses now transmit the EXIF data such as manufacturer, date, metering system and exposure to the camera, and this results in quicker and faster handling capabilities, which is especially useful under challenging shooting conditions.

The manufacturer promises that the lenses will easily cope with situations that demand extreme photographic creativity and maximum image quality.
