35/2 Zeiss Distagon for Contarex
Distagon on a worn black Contarex Super, possibly a former photojournalist
outfit
The 35/2 Distagon was offered to appeal to many
photographers who used the 35mm focal length as their standard lens, and needed
the extra speed. It was larger, heavier and more expensive than the 35/4, and as
a result, was produced in smaller quantities.
