Zeiss Planar T* ZF.2

No, this is a strictly manual focus lens. It is designed for photographers who prefer the tactile control and precision of manual focusing, though it does feature CPU coupling to communicate exposure data with your Nikon camera.

Yes, the ZF.2 designation indicates it is compatible with Nikon F-mount cameras. Because it includes a CPU, it will meter correctly and allow you to use your camera's exposure modes, including shutter priority and program mode.

The T* anti-reflection coating is designed to minimize internal reflections and flare. This results in images with higher contrast and better color saturation, even when you are shooting directly into bright light sources.

Absolutely. With a fast f/1.4 maximum aperture, this lens excels in low-light environments, allowing you to shoot at faster shutter speeds or lower ISO settings compared to standard zoom lenses.

Yes, you can use this lens on Nikon Z-series mirrorless cameras, but you will need the Nikon FTZ mount adapter. Since the lens is manual focus, you will rely on your camera's focus peaking or magnification tools to ensure sharp results.

This lens features a robust, all-metal construction that feels significantly more substantial and durable than many modern plastic-bodied lenses. The mechanical focus ring is engineered for smooth, precise adjustments, offering a level of tactile feedback that is rare in contemporary autofocus optics.
