Zeiss ZF.2 are SLR lenses with F bayonet mount for Nikon cameras.   They support all key modes on all current Nikon DSLR cameras.  To do so, simply lock the aperture ring in the largest f-stop (e.g. 16) shown in orange. On camera models without an electronic interface, the aperture is manually set on the lens aperture ring. 

DISTAGON DESIGN
Distagon is a retrofocus design that gives advanced control via an SLR viewfinder.  For extreme wide angles, the back focal distance has to be much greater than the focal length.  In such situations, Distagon is the ideal choice.

MANUAL FOCUS
Manual focusing means you have all the control at the end of your fingers.  ZEISS lenses feature a specially designed ergonomic construction that is noticeable at first touch.  The large rotation angle of this lens guarantees precise focusing.  The mechanism moves super smoothly and without extra play, furthering the intuitive interaction along the focal plane. 

ASPHERICAL DESIGN
Zeiss' aspherical lens design creates a more complex surface profile.  This helps to greatly reduce spherical and other optical aberrations.  The design further ensures consistent imaging performance throughout the entire focal range, while delivering incredible sharpness up to the periphery of the image.  

ALL METAL MOUNTS
Zeiss lenses are engineered for decades of high level use.  The high level of craftmanship are obvious in their all-metal mounts.  They sport an secure gripped metal focus and aperture ring.  The strong front bayonet and filter thread ensure quality performance every time you pick it up. 

ADVANCED APERTURE DESIGN
With Zeiss lenses you can create stunning Bokeh effects, thanks to the finely tuned features of ZEISS SLR lenses.  By keeping the background intentionally blurred, additional focus is created on the subject of an image.  The uniquely engineered diaphragm blades of this lens, along with the virtually circular aperture, deliver stunning renditions of highlights the back and foreground.
