Pros:Construction unparalleled. Robustness and elegance (just think of the metal hood). Sharpness, color and, above all, CHARACTER!
Cons:At maximum aperture is a bit 'soft, but certain parameters of sharpness that today are so sophisticated and stylish, does not always make a good Photography. The manual focus (which I love) is not suitable for every photographic genre. But it is not a defect, just knowing it before.
Opinion:I replaced the Canon 50mm f1.4 with this Zeiss, found bargain. I immediately felt the charm of the manual focus, which did not represent any difficulty, indeed! RNLA sharpness from 5.6 to 8 is absolute. The color rendering is unique. The soft blur and elegante.rnInsomma: a perspective that you have to know little by little and that sometimes can not give shots excellent throughout (but just the fault of the photographer), but that, when it is designed and used properly, gives unparalleled satisfaction (as fixed lenses have also Canon 35 f2 IS USM and the legendary 135 f2, but this is really special Zeiss!) rnSe you want to photograph calmly and with your heart, try it and buy it!
Pros:Excellent mechanical construction; outstanding optical quality from f / 4 onwards; ring focusing fluid and no games
Cons:Slight pincushion distortion, annoying in architectural shots; made soft edges in apertures (but this is a design choice, as is also evident from the documentation available at Zeiss, which defines this lens as having a split personality: just knowing it and take steps accordingly)
Opinion:After so many years of shooting film with bodies and Contax Zeiss optics, with the digital switchover and related optical AF I was a little 'missed the feeling with those goals. When I bought this 50 mm and I mounted on my Nikon, I seemed to go back in time and rediscover the pleasure to manually focus. The results obtained are up to the reputation of Zeiss (but this did not doubt in the least), with excellent resolution and clean colors enviable. With version ZF.2 (the one with a chip) can be used all the automatic exposure present in modern DSRL.
Pros:Mechanical construction is excellent, satisfaction focus when focus!
Cons:The weight and the lack of autofocus factors are secondary to the yield on the edge Aperture 1.4 to 3.5 poor especially in geometric or architectural shots while the sharpness of the central area is always excellent, the APS-C (foc. eq. 80 mm) the definition at full aperture improves significantly.
Opinion:Great piece of glass, as they say the Americans, has a beautiful color rendition, f / 8 sharpness and color depth, as well as the definition, really unique. Despite using the "old" Canon FD lenses with bayonet (via adapter) on my DSLR, this lens is a bit 'difficult to use as a manual focus at close range, especially with the EOS 5D MkII.
Pros:excellent optical quality, impeccable construction
Cons:made at the edges at the widest apertures a bit 'disappointing
Opinion:This is the third fixed lens that I got to replace the two type II canon 16-35 and 24-70. The yield is superb and the object is constructed in such a way that it is a pleasure to use. The focus and color rendition, contrast and sharpness are excellent. However, in a comparison with the canon 50mm f: 1.4, which I have also (though I'm about to sell it) surrendering to the edges in Aperture 1.4 to 2 was lower than in sharpness. A f: 4 are equal and f: 5.6 to 8 prefer the zeiss. The Canon has a much lower construction, but the optical plane is also a champion and a better quality / price ratio, in addition to the automatic focheggiatura. Fabio
