The Zeiss Biogon T* 2,8/25 ZM lens is sure to dazzle even the most stringent of lens critics and one that even Zeiss is proud of. It's capable of some remarkable resolution with very well-controlled distortion (which is almost non-existent). The lens really comes into its own as it is stopped down to the optimal aperture of f/5.6 - and with either film or digital, it will truly test the resolving power limit of your medium. It really doesn't get any better than this.

Zeiss regularly puts out a newsletter called, "Camera Lens News." In issue number 24 (February 2006) it was remarked that this lens set a new resolution record approaching 400lp/mm. In the "real world" you'll see about half of that - but no matter how you slice it, that is really impressive.

When Hasselblad staff photographer Jens Karlsson took demo photos for the first Zeiss Ikon brochure in 2004, his photo of the carousel, taken with the ZM-Biogon 25 stood out for its enormous detail and clarity. So we used a ZM-Biogon 25 in a recent test to determine maximum resolving power. The high resolution film of choice was the SPUR Orthopan UR supplied and processed by SPUR. The result was a whopping 400 lp/mm on film, recorded with the Biogon 25 at f/4 in the center of the image. This value, 400 lp/mm, corresponds to the maximum resolution theoretically possible at f/4.
