The focusing mechanism is equipped with a lower and upper user-adjustable limiter. Sports and wildlife photographers will benefit from this new feature. The rear of the lens is equipped with the new Carl Zeiss heavy-duty camera bayonet with three-dimensional structure. Underneath the barrel the Hasselblad tripod quick mount is located right under the center of gravity of a combination of lens and camera.
The ergonomics have been greatly improved over the CF line, so scales are better legible and gloves may be used. The flash connector now has a positive lock. The new aperture stop-down button is protected against accidental damage by shear forces. Also the use of new materials extends the service life of the shutter. So the Carl Zeiss Tele-Superachromat T* 5,6/350 CFE will be an essential tool in the arsenal of the successful professional photographer. | |
