Is this lens compatible with my Nikon camera?
The ZEISS Distagon T* 21mm f/2.8 ZF lens has a Nikon FX mount, so it is compatible with Nikon full-frame (FX) cameras and also with DX (APS-C) cameras, although in the latter the angle of view will be cropped (equivalent to about 31.5mm). It is a manual focus lens, so you will need to adjust focus yourself.
Is the focus automatic or manual?
This lens is manual focus (MF). It does not have an autofocus motor, so you will need to focus manually. This gives you total control over the focus point, which many photographers value for its precision, especially in static or landscape photography.
What type of photography can I do with this lens?
Thanks to its 21mm focal length and maximum aperture of f/2.8, it is ideal for landscape, architecture, interior, and street photography. Its wide angle allows you to capture expansive scenes with great sharpness, and its brightness facilitates shooting in low-light conditions.
Does the lens include image stabilization?
No, this lens does not have image stabilization. However, being a wide-angle lens, it is less prone to camera shake than telephoto lenses. If your camera has in-body stabilization (like some Nikon models), it will work with the lens.
