35/4 Zeiss Distagon for Contarex
35/4 Distagon in chrome.
The 35/4 Distagon was one of the lenses introduced with the Contarex system. It
was considerably slower than the offerings of most of the competitors systems at
the time. Although a 35/2 Distagon was offered in 1965, they never filled the
gap with a 35/2.8 like the competition.
