Happy Bday Ken. Happy many more years. Zeiss lenses for Contax/Yashica mount can be used with adapters on Fuji. They seem optically similar to the current Zeiss lenses but sells for much less. What is you take??

Whatvf stop do you shoot the 50 and 85? Resolution reviews are not very good on them, however I guess many results suffer from field curvative. I have the 50 and focus field is not "planar" 🙃

Are you saying it's not the same optical design?
@chirag48 жыл бұрын
i had used the 35/2 Milvus for 2 Days. It retains the exact same element design of the Classic lens, except that milvus has blue rubber weather seal gasket at the rear & variety of internal seals to keep moisture out (not guaranteed despite claims by Zeiss), rubberized manual focus ring instead of metal in previous version... etc. So, depends on us which one we go with ! ... personal decision. Even the 50mm f/2 & 100mm f/2 Milvus continues the legacy of its older versions. The 50/1.4 & 85/1.4 Milvus are the worst due to more corrective elements, its image rendition is as Dead as a Dodo. I can't comment on which has better built quality, Classic Vs. Milvus, perhaps the older is better. I have tried all 6 Milvus lenses on my 6D. The 21mm f/2.8 is one of the best looking lens with curved / rounded hood, but as Ken truly said, Zeiss is horrible at making wide lenses. The User Experience with 100mm f/2 is the most pleasurable of all six, and if i had to buy just one of all Zeiss lenses ever, it would be this one, though i know i am not good at manual focusing esp. with such Tele focal having shallow DoF. Thanks Ken & Omesh.

Chirag Parikh I have had my eye on the 100 macro for a while. I read that it doesn't give full 1:1 magnification. How did you overcome that, with extension tubes?
@chirag48 жыл бұрын
it is a Half-Macro Lens, and i won't buy it for Macro use, but Close-up / Head-shots / Portraits & General purpose. Would rather have Tokina 100/2.8 for dedicated macro. I don't know how would zeiss perform with extension tubes, but that is an option. My 2nd favorite lens after 100/2 would be 85/1.4 Classic.

@luminouswaves26403 жыл бұрын
For CA created by a lens defect, not really. If you view such an image with anaglyph glasses, you’ll see depth, but it will not correctly correspond to scene depths. Axial CA (aka, longitudinal CA or bokeh CA) comes from different colors of light focusing on slightly different planes, so you can get a little bit of in-front-of vs. behind depth disambiguation by comparing sharpness of the same feature in different color channels, but that’s a minor help. Transverse CA (aka, lateral CA) is typically more of a magnification change, and really doesn’t directly correspond to a depth change.
