Contax N Vario-Sonnar T* 24 - 85mm f/3.5 - 4.5 Lens

Vario-Sonnar T* 24-85mm f3.5-4.5 lens; the perfect companion to the N camera body. The seven elements, one of which is aspherical, provides superb imaging performance.

A standard zoom lens suited for ultra wide-angle to medium-range use. It can be used as close as 50cm from the subject, even at maximum focal length. Two glass aspheric lenses combine with a pair of anomalous dispersion elements, also glass, to ensure optical performance equivalent to that of a fixed focal lens. Distortion is minimized, even when used at widest angle, allowing very natural-looking results.

To achieve this high image quality along with relative compactness, this lens uses elements made of special fluor-crown glass with anomalous partial dispersion, and additional aspheric surfaces.
With M82, the filter thread has deliberately been given ample dimensions to allow the combination of high-quality filters with this lens without vignetting of the corners, even when wide-angle settings are used. In addition, a lens hood can be mounted using a quick-change bayonet.
