Please note that this is a manual focus lens.

The Distagon T* 28mm f/2 moderate wide angle manual focus lens is based on the renowned Distagon design of the 1980s for the Contax system. This lens has been optimized with current, high performing and eco-friendly glass, incorporating a floating lens element design to optimize image quality across the entire focusing range.
