16mm fisheye for 35mm Contax
The F- Distagon® T* 2.8/16 lens is a very compact lens of the fisheye type with high speed and excellent imaging performance. Its ultra-wide angle of 180° results in very unusual effects. For use in photographic art, the focal length was selected to make full use of the format 24 x 36 mm. The very good picture quality, the even image field illumination and the high degree of detail resolution qualify this lens for documentary photography. It will be the first choice for use in overall views in closed spaces and for desired alienations.
