Carl Zeiss has now introduced the Distagon T* 3.5/18 ZF for industrial applications and technical automation – a compact wide angle system covering an extremely wide image angle. Many industrial imaging applications demand more than excellent imaging performance. Only an extreme image angle can ensure that large objects are captured reliably and completely in a small space.

With the new Distagon T* 3.5/18 ZF industrial robots for quality assurance tasks achieve an impressive diagonal image angle of up to 99°. This means maximum acquisition of ambient and object information, even at short distances, making the lens ideal for near-range photogrammetry and optical measurements of components, e.g. in the automotive industry. The Distagon T* 3.5/18 ZF offers low-distortion, sharp images from infinity up to the near range – even in difficult light conditions.
