Verdict
Quality-wise the Zeiss Distagon T* 35mm f/2 ZF is a little superior compared to its
its sister lens, the Distagon T* 25mm f/2.8, and it easily outperforms the corresponding Nikkor
AF 35mm f/2. The resolution in the center is about as good as it gets on the Nikon D200.
The borders are very good at large apertures but it takes till about f/4 before the
quality gets excellent here. The level of vignetting is about average for a lens of this
class. The lens shows a very slight level of barrel distortions whereas CAs are moderate.
In the field the Distagon shined regarding its very strong resistance against flare.
The bokeh is very smooth - see also the sample image above. The build quality of the lens is
excellent. Typical for all ZF lenses the Distagon comes with a couple of handling
penalties - it doesn´t offer AF and the aperture can only be controlled on the lens.
