The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.  | sent on May 13, 2018 Pros: Deus Ex Machina. Cons: The Caps!? Just take them off before you photograph. Opinion: I bought it used on the Juza market in October and now I can finally make a judgement. Perfect both from the optical and mechanical point of view. The focus ring with the perfect infinity at the end of the stroke ideal for the starry and not only. The merciless comparison I could do it with the Sigma 20 Art but this is light years away. With the Canon 16-35 F4 L IS a 21 mm and a F 8 if it pulls but up to only about fifty meters, then the power of this lens comes out, especially in the definition of the foliage in the background. In the Nocturnes is a marvel: Point and without smudges from side to side at 2.8, minimum distortion, absent AC, vignetting not received. |
  | sent on March 04, 2018 Pros: When everything is GREAT, it is difficult to find a feature that stands out on the others .... Cons: Stoppers both front and back scandalous as on all Cosina-Zeiss, including Milvus Opinion: What else to add to everything written by the other owners? I have recently converted all Nikon equipment to move on to Cosina-Zeiss and I am very happy with it. Specifically for the wide-angle I was 14-24 and 24 mm 1.4, both outclassed by this masterpiece of optics. the design is old, even ancient, but the results are in front of everyone's eyes: three-dimensionality on everything and then a lot of clarity, opening of the shadows, bokeh and much more, to end with the immense satisfaction that you try using this engineering masterpiece mechanics and optics! A must in absolute, I'm sorry only to have lost years with plasticoni .... |
 | sent on December 21, 2016 Pros: All. Cons: More than a "counter" is a note :, the front cap as other Zeiss, is a shameful thing for the level of optical construction. Opinion: I can say that in my career and after 35 years of photos I found little stuff like that ... It felt good talk, some even regretted selling it. I own a few months but I would say it will be perhaps the last perspective that will sell. To be a wide angle has a dowry of considerable focus at full aperture and a definition that impresses. Plasticity and three-dimensionality, the reading in the shadows of the typical Zeiss lenses here comes all on display. Difficult to find negative points in the 21 ... it is a masterpiece. |
 | sent on September 22, 2016 Pros: materials, fluid ring and marathon race, weight Cons: Nothing to declare Opinion: Maybe because I've always wanted to but I can not find fault, I love it. Build quality is superb, pleasant fluidity of focus. The high weight because of the materials makes to perceive all the quality of the lens. I thought of accusing the lack of FA but I must say that until now (I have it now for a couple of years) no one has ever creatoproblemi me. I would like to also use the new Milvus 15mm |
 | sent on August 12, 2015 Pros: Maximum levels for construction, Compactness, Sharpness Extreme from f / 2.8, Defocused from Scream, ring Focus Phenomenal As per tradition Zeiss, Zeiss Colors, 3D Zeiss, Zeiss contrast, ring diaphragms Cons: Generates dependence, lack of rubber ring on the attack Bayonet, Price Opinion: What struck me most of this is undoubtedly the wide blurred that is easily comparable to that of 70-200 2.8: crazy how the transition from heat to both sweet and out of focus as it is dreamy blurred, clearly to be a wide-angle! And what about the sharpness to 2.8 ??? Embarrassing ... With a quick comparison with the 14-24 I have seen that is significantly sharper, and the yardstick is not a fund of bottle ... Mainly however I use it at least f / 5.6 in iperfocale, so it can not do nothing but improve and is great news for me. Is making me really think of selling the zoom, and especially for the overall yield of the image with the classic Zeiss traits: color, contrast, 3D, in short, as usual! Again I put in against the price, but also here is all about finding a good used and at that point it becomes an investment because I highly doubt that these objectives MF without frills, the build quality and mechanical unsurpassed, could losevalue over time. And again recommend to pay attention because a dependency atrocious ... |
 | sent on March 25, 2015 Pros: optical quality, mechanical, color rendering Cons: vignetting Opinion: Lens stratospheric, the best wide angle ever used, color rendering light years away from shades of normal glass (nikon, sigma etc.) rnsu d800 makes in world impeccable and even 100% the image is sharp from edge to edge. I use it exclusively in the field of view as landscapes and prefer it to the 14 / 15mm.rnnelle sunny days just adjust the WB and the photo takes vita.rnla vignetting sometimes requires correction even at small apertures, but does not degrade the immagine.rnla ring is so smooth and well rubbed it can be defined as an instrument of precision mechanics and the distance scale is very precise and with the detector perfectly infinito.rnULTRA recommended, once mounted the monkey disappears for any other angle on the market . |
 | sent on March 13, 2015 Pros: excellent optical quality, images carved into the rock Cons: vignetting wide open, price Opinion: The landscape is a great goal, insostituibile.Da f / 5.6 to F / 11 is a sensational goal, the pictures are really sculpted. To think I had to work better on the Zeiss slight vignetting at f / 2.8 to f / 4, because often these openings working with astrophotography and given the price that one pays one should expect something more. Vignetting, a phenomenon that still occurs in almost all lenses wide open, is easily corrected in post-production. |
 | sent on July 23, 2014 Pros: optical and mechanical quality. Precision and fluidity of focus. Opening. color rendering. Cons: Vignetting at room temperature (for me it's not a big deal) .rnCoperchio inadequate lens cap to the lens class. Opinion: Mechanical quality as we are at very high levels. The rotate the focusing ring smooth and precise focus returns an aspect of photography that I had forgotten with modern AF. At first I was afraid of not being able to focus correctly (use a F6 and D700 with standard slides) but then I saw that there are no major problems. high rnNitidezza to 2.8 even at the edges, star in the center, enclosed by 5.6 becomes a knife. Excellent color rendering with a typical footprint of the house. The yield / openness in excellent low light and very natural contrast make only minimum necessary interventions post-production (as opposed to the 14-24 of which I have never liked the contrast heavily unnatural). The blur is very attractive for a wide angle. Excellent three-dimensionality, one of the features I most appreciate. The yield on film, then, is touching. 20 Nikon defends well on film, but here we are on other levels. For me important perspective that has suddenly supplanted the much loved and used 20mm AFD (though I held for the compattezza and discretion) and instead made me sell the 14-24 no particular regret. One of those few lenses that have a touch of personality and character that can stir the strings of creativity. You become one with the photographic medium and are born the best shots. At least in my personal experience. I repeat, for me it irrinunciabile.rnPiccola negative note: the lens cap should be redesigned as it tends to squirt out of his hand when unplugging. The sockets for the fingers are inadequate because shallow and therefore slippery with the danger that during removal can tilt dangerously threatening the front lens ... |
 | sent on February 02, 2014 Pros: Optical quality and construction; fluidity of the ring focus; maximum aperture. Cons: Difficulties in finding accessories; vignetting at RT; slight distortion. Opinion: I own a few weeks ago and this lens can only be satisfied purchase. rnL'obiettivo is constructed impeccably, only glass and metal, a real rock. Rotate the focus ring to focus on is something exceptional, no Canon lens gives you this feeling. The ring of the distances is very precise and once set to infinity are sure you have the perfect focus to infinity. This is a great advantage for people like me who snaps several pictures at night: you rotate the dial to infinity and you're done, you do not lose time to experiment focusing on the stars (for example). I find it very versatile focal RNLA more airy than the classic 24mm 14/15mm without going to the extreme of which is often very difficult to gestire.rnPer only as far as quality optics nothing to object already at f/2.8 is a knife edge to board then utilizzabilissimo even at maximum aperture. Closing the diaphragm improves slightly but is already really good at RT. It suffers a little 'vignettature at the widest apertures and the distortion is noticeable even if the software have the profile to correct it (eg, Lightroom). I have not noticed chromatic aberrations even in situations of high contrast and backlighting. As for the flare I found it in the picture with direct light in the frame, but still well controlled. Also great for creative use given the minimum focusing distance fuoco.rnSto having difficulty in finding the original lens hood, because (I assume) the limited diffusion of Zeiss lenses compared to brands like Canon, Nikon, Sigma. |
 | sent on December 03, 2013 Pros: Optical quality and construction. Focus Ring. Cons: Weight, price, and some flare. Opinion: Impressive both as a building and as optical performance. The sharpness is spread right to the edges, while some just try to test with backlight yes pushed to notice the presence of some flares that are not always avoided, but be amazed by the legibility even in areas of higher backlight. A pleasure to focus with a dial treated as approximate and not that of modern optics with autofocus. Personally I find then that the focal length is an ideal compromise between a wide-angle "natural" (24 or 28) and extreme (15 or 18). |
 | sent on August 24, 2012 Pros: Excellent optical quality Cons: Not exactly cheap, but the quality has its price Opinion: Just do a search online to find many "authoritative" reviews that highlight the high performance of this lens. By happy owner I can say that, once this is attached to the camera, it is very difficult to be removed to be replaced by other lenses! Using this lens, from the earliest shots, it is clear why we talk about 3D Zeiss! |
 | sent on March 21, 2012 Pros: optical quality, impeccable construction Cons: significant weight Opinion: I purchased this light after reading reviews on various sites that extolled the great performance and expectations have been confirmed, and the world has changed compared to my canon 16-35mm and 20 type II that I used previously on a fixed canon Eos 5D markII . Finally my landscapes are razor sharp from edge to edge. The distortion is minimal. The focus is carried out smoothly and precisely via a large ring of the past. A great test of zeiss that exceeds even though the previous 21 zeiss great that I used with a Contax film. It all his money. Fabio |
