Contax 645 Lens Portraits - Zeiss 45mm f2.8 Distagon
Kyocera built three Zeiss wide-angle optics for the Contax 645 system: the 35mm f3.5 Distagon, the 45mm f2.8 Distagon, and the 55mm f3.5 Distagon. Of these, the Zeiss 45mm f2.8 Distagon is the most versatile, sporting a fast f2.8 max aperture and an equivalent focal length of 28mm. This gives the lens a wide but not dramatically distorted perspective ideal for group or environmental portraiture. The inherent sharpness and resolution of the Zeiss design also makes the 45mm f2.8 Distagon a capable tool for architectural, landscape, and interior photography. While not as celebrated as its legendary sibling the Zeiss 80mm f2 Planar, the 45mm f2.8 Distagon displays the versatility and high optical standards of the Contax 645 system.
