Pros: hard stop for infinity

Cons: None

Opinion: This lens is cheap. It's one of the younger Contax Zeiss lenses. And it's a joy to use it. In the Zeiss Data Sheet was written, "An aspheric lens element and a special optical glass with anomalous partial dispersion are utilised to achieve a superb imaging performance while keeping the lens quite compact." That's true. I used it with a Nikon Z7 II. This lens is a strong competitor to the Nikon Z 24-70mm f/4 S. It's gives pictures with fanastic colors. The lens has a hard stop for infinity. It's easy to use. I recommend this lens for a Nikon Z6 or Nikon Z7, but I don't recommend to Sony users.

Pros: light and compact

Cons: Diaphragm that varies with the focal and not very large focal length

Opinion: Great and small zoom born in 1998 as kit kit for CONTAX Aria.rnMa very simplistic to consider it only a basic kit. Little brother of 28-85, from what I read is qualitatively inferior (but not by much), but bringing as a benefit a lightness and compact optimal.rnLo use with the CONTAX 139 and I could not be happier. It is the lens that I use more now! Excellent resolution, the slides come out with saturated and bright colors! RnA 28 has an accentuated distortion, but less than many other zoom .... 35 is almost perfect. Difference in yield between center and non-existent edges! The diaphragm that varies with the focal length is the major defect, but it is a problem also present in 28-85 (much more expensive, heavy and cumbersome) .rnIf you find it at a good price is a very good purchase!
