Carl Zeiss 35mm f/1.4 Distagon T* 1.4/35
10 out of 10 points and recommendedImage quality, build, contrats,CAI know I rated this a 10 in all categories but it is well worth it. This lens is simply amazing and amazing to use.

However, all the other qualities of this lens make up for that and then some. To see some sample taken with this lens have a look here:
