The Zeiss Distagon 35mm f/1.4 ZE for Canon EF is a stellar rental for portrait, street, and low-light photographers who want exceptional image quality and a fast, manual-focus prime lens. Its 35mm focal length is perfect for capturing natural perspectives, making it versatile for everything from environmental portraits to candid moments. The fast f/1.4 aperture creates stunning bokeh and excels in challenging lighting conditions, while the legendary Zeiss optics deliver incredible sharpness, contrast, and color fidelity. What makes this lens special is its all-metal construction and precise manual focus, giving you full creative control and a tactile shooting experience that’s second to none. If you value craftsmanship and artistic freedom, this lens is a fantastic choice.

  • Very fast f/1.4 lens for low light and for impressive bokeh effects
  • Precise focusing mechanism with a large rotation angle--operating a lens manually means controlling the picture with your fingertips. Ergonomics are everything.
  • Optimum control of glare and stray light ensures brilliant images--ZEISS lenses are famous for the exceptional quality of the pictures they provide. No matter how demanding the subject, perspectives, colors, and lighting situations are reproduced perfectly - over the entire full-frame image field.
  • The almost circular aperture enables a harmonious bokeh in out-of-focus areas--the finely matched properties of the aperture ensure that the effects of out-of-focus areas of the picture are attractively balanced (bokeh).
  • ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating
  • Sophisticated stray light reduction
  • Excellent flare control
  • Extremely long-lasting and robust all-metal precision mechanics
