ZEISS T* Coating

ZEISS T* coating guarantees brilliant, high-contrast images, especially in adverse light conditions and twilight. However, there is no specific formula for building up the layers; instead, it is a technology constantly adjusted to suit new glass materials and requirements, varying from lens to lens.
