Examples of topics you’ll learn about for this particular lens include how its strengths and weaknesses vary by application (particularly working distance), focus technique, abberations, field curvature, color and brilliance, and how this lens compares to its sibling, the 28mm ƒ2.

“The Zeiss 25/2.8 Distagon is a wonderful all-around lens with unique close-up properties, and outstanding performance at distance. The results are absolutely beautiful, and can be used to great artistic effect. It won’t test well on by-the-numbers lab testing at close range, so ignore such things and try this lens for landscape or extreme close-up use and you’ll be delighted with its brilliance and color.”—Lloyd Chambers, author
