Zeiss 18mm f4 Distagon T* ZM

The Distagon T*4/18 ZM is compact for its focal length, and offers very good distortion correction and exceptional performance throughout the image frame. The lens is attached to the telemetry camera and the optional 18mm viewfinder is available for precise image composition.

Smooth and quiet autofocus operation

Carl ZEISS 's range of T* lenses offers the highest possible standard in terms of performance, reliability and, of course, image quality. Simply put, they are superior in everything. They deserve all the trust for the extraordinarily advanced flash control to achieve sharp and bright images, for example. And the distortion is practically zero, so accurate accuracy in the reproduction of shapes is ensured, especially useful when photographing products and architecture.

Robust design

The mount and control elements of all ZM lenses are made of metal and are designed to last for decades of heavy use. The high manufacturing quality of the all-metal frames, the easy-to-grip metal focus, the aperture ring, the robust front bayonet and the filter threads allow you to enjoy photography in an extraordinary way.

Precise and smooth focusing

Manual focus on a lens involves controlling the resulting image with your fingertips. A good ergonomic design makes all the difference. The focus ring of the ZEISS lenses is easy to use. With ergonomic finger support, it's perfect for fast and accurate focusing. Changes are immediately visible in the viewer. The high-quality focusing mechanism moves smoothly without slack, so that it favors intuitive interaction with the focal plane.
