Vario-Sonnar® T* 4.5/45-90 for the CONTAX® 645
The Vario-Sonnar® T* 4.5/45-90 lens is an all-round autofocus lens for the Contax 645. It is particularly well-suited for demanding photojournalistic work, where prints may be enlarged to poster size with fine details which cannot be reliably captured with 35 mm cameras. Weddings, travel, and industrial photos for annual reports and business presentations are typical tasks of this kind, where medium format has proven to be indispensable.

Imaging performance of the Vario-Sonnar® T* 4.5/45-90 lens is on the level of fixed focal length lenses. Both sharpness and brilliance satisfy even high demands, while distortion is very well corrected.

The combination of these characteristics produces an outstanding lens for forensic documentation. Stray light absorbing measures are integrated with great care to enable this multi-element Vario-Sonnar® T* 4.5/45-90 lens to deliver professional quality results even under unfavourable lighting conditions.

Preferred use: demanding photojournalistic work, weddings, travel, street photography, people, industrial and forensic documentation.
