ZEISS Otus ML 1.4/35
The ZEISS Otus ML 1.4/35 is the ideal partner for street photography, travel, or documentary shoots. What's important in photography is the ability to perceive and compose a viewpoint. This lens offers a wide-angle view of the scene while also allowing the subject to stand out, with complete manual control over focus, depth, and detail. In addition to suppressing distortion through aspherical design and chromatic aberration through anomalous partial dispersion glass, ZEISS T* coating minimizes lens flare by suppressing unwanted reflections within the lens, enhancing image contrast and color fidelity. With a wide aperture of F1.4, it handles challenging low-light conditions and features a soft, harmonious bokeh with 10 aperture blades. Create your unique story with the ZEISS Otus ML 1.4/35.
