ZEISS DISTAGON/PLANAR EF MOUNT SET OF 4

Zeiss Distagon and Planar lenses for the Canon EF mount (designated as the ZE series) are world-renowned manual-focus prime lenses. They combine traditional German optical excellence with modern electronic integration, offering a “cinematic” look that has made them favorites for both high-end photography and independent filmmaking.
The ZE (EF-mount) series consists of the Classic and the newer Milvus lines. These lenses use two primary optical designs:
Distagon: Used for wide-angle focal lengths (e.g., 15mm, 21mm, 35mm). It uses a retrofocus design to provide high resolution and low distortion across the frame.
Planar: Used for standard and telephoto lengths (e.g., 50mm, 85mm). This “symmetrical” design is legendary for its natural rendering, high speed (wide apertures), and corrected aberrations.

Key Features:

T Anti-Reflective Coating: A proprietary multi-layer coating that virtually eliminates flare and ghosting while ensuring the famous “Zeiss Color” (vibrant, natural skin tones).
All-Metal Construction: Built with high-precision metal barrels and mounts for extreme durability and a tactile, professional feel.
High-Precision Manual Focus: Features a long-throw focusing ring with dampened movement, allowing for incredibly minute adjustments—essential for video and shallow depth-of-field work.
Electronic Aperture Control: Unlike the Nikon (ZF) versions, the EF (ZE) lenses do not have a physical aperture ring; the iris is controlled directly via the camera body.
Full-Frame Coverage: Designed for 35mm sensors but fully compatible with APS-C (Crop) cameras.
Consistent Aesthetics: The set is color-matched, meaning you can swap lenses during a shoot without needing significant color grading to match the footage.
