OBERKOCHEN/Germany, 04.12.2009. Carl Zeiss has again applied its expertise in lens manufacturing to enable photographers to create wonderfully expressive images. With two new macro lenses, the Makro-Planar T* 2/50 and the Makro-Planar T* 2/100, both now also available with EF bayonet, Carl Zeiss expands its existing ZE line of lenses. Owners of EOS camera models can now create detail-rich macro images that allow sharpness and unsharpness to be deployed as creative elements as they choose. These highly light-sensitive, versatile lenses are also perfect as standard focal lengths for portraits or still life photography. Even in tricky situations such as dusk, the Makro- Planer T* 2/50 and T* 2/100 ZE create distortion- free images thanks to their extraordinary light intensity of 1:2. Whether capturing an insect resting on a flower or the dampness on a piece of fruit, these lenses allow a degree of sharpness that was hitherto impossible. Even with a maximum aperture opening and a low focal depth, the desired image can be easily isolated from its disruptive surroundings. Both macro lenses render objects in close-up on a scale of 1:2. To enable such detail, these lenses include Carl Zeiss’s acclaimed “floating elements” design. This special lens alignment enables high optical performance across the entire focusing range, from 0.24 m to infinity. The Makro-Planar T* 2/50 and Makro-Planar T* 2/100 are already available with F bayonet (ZF) and K bayonet (ZK).The Makro-Planar T* 2/50 is also available as a ZF.2 version. Both lens systems are optimized for analog and full-format digital SLR cameras. The Makro-Planar T* 2/50 ZE is available in December 2009 at a recommended retail price of € 965,55 (excluding VAT)*. The Makro-Planar T* 2/100 ZE will be available from beginning of 2010 at a recommended retail price of € 1.385,71 (excluding VAT)*. * As of December 04, 2009 Technical specifications: Makro-Planar T* 2/50 Focal length: 50 mm Aperture range: f/2 - f/22 Number of elements/groups: 8/6 Focusing range: 0.24 m - infinity Angular field** (diag./horiz./vert.): 45/38/26 ° Coverage at close range: 72 x 48 mm (close-up) Image ratio at close range: 1:2 (close-up) Filter thread: M 67 x 0.75 Dimensions (with caps): ø 75,4mm Length 91mm Weight: 570g Mounts: ZE (EF bayonet) ZF & ZF.2 (F bayonet) ZK (K bayonet) Accessories: Lens hood included Technical specifications: Makro-Planar T* 2/100 ZE Focal length: 100 mm Aperture range: f/2 - f/22 Number of elements/groups: 9/8 Focusing range: 0.44 m - infinity Angular field** (diag./horiz./vert.): 25/21/14 ° Coverage at close range: 72 x 48 mm (close-up) Image ratio at close range: 1:2 (close-up) Filter thread: M 67 x 0.75 Dimensions (with caps): ø 76,0mm Length 115mm Weight: 680g Mounts: ZE (EF bayonet) ZF (F bayonet) ZK (K bayonet) Accessories: Lens hood included ** relates to small camera format Image download (JPG · 1,804 kB) Stunning details with the new macro lenses Makro-Planar T* 2/50 and the Makro-PlanarT* 2/100 ZE with EF mount from Carl Zeiss.
