Pros: Charm of the most prestigious vintage, beautiful colors and bokeh. Mild macro 1:2 and that's no small thing

Cons: It tastes like a cork if you want to make an association with wine. Caps certainly not up to the mark as you can read from almost all

Opinion: It is a zeiss style lens made in Germany vintage, but overall even if made in Japan it has maintained the original quality, caps and box aside. A bit of aberration at TA but still returns beautiful images that modern super resolving lenses can't do. It is also a soft macro or mild macro if you want, so an excellent resolution if you do not want to print optical sights to hang in the living room

Pros: Pro construction, contrast, b/w grayscale, manual focus

Cons: Front cap that has nothing to do with the rest of the lens, if the brand wasn't written I would say it would be a fake adaptation

Opinion: What can I say, I chased it for years, I wanted a manual focus to rediscover the taste of the shot thought, replaced by the Canon 50 f1.4 has no comparison, two different worlds, both for build quality and for the images that this lens churns out. It gives satisfaction, even headaches when you miss the moment, but it was not born for this, you know. To be used on FF, it gives emotions.

Pros: Sharpness of his, beautiful rendition of colors, beautiful b/n, brightness, speed, image quality, price

Cons: I don't know how to make a cover. Objective (Dicasi "cap") unworthy, especially for a Zeiss who has a worldwide reputation.......

Opinion: I've had this lens for 9 months. I'm starting with the "cons".... A censable front cap, I say no more. Forget it..... The optics are beautiful,350 grams of charm, baby. A concetrate of mechanics..... The first time I used it with the Nikon 610, I was stunned. But really.....!! Colors that I had never seen before, real..... I made the picture in a garden. I looked at the picture on the display, watching the garden. I was stupefied. The sharpness in the center is very nice. Bright without "stra-fare". It mainly affects the detail the thing that surprises me is the price. Used is found, without difficulty, around the €400. Metal hood inside the box. Recommend use this link for demonstration image. Https://i.imgur.com/ksg076G.jpg was made in F9 in 1/30 seconds with ISO 140.

Pros: Impeccable Build Quality! Bokeh. Sharpness shutting down a bit.

Cons: Not get it first. Front cap.

Opinion: Great deal looking at the price of used! I paid 340 euros. Light, bright, versatile what some want more. Usable in all openings. Changing diaphragm also changes blurred so then play at your own pace.... Front cap a bit uncomfortable. Recommended to all that no year claims for Auto focus. Diaphragm controlled by machine body and very comfortable

Pros: Splendid construction, important sharpness with unique blurry, excellent construction

Cons: It mirrors in merits and flaws in the reviews of the house, soft at the edges, front cap verges on the scandal like 21 2.8 and 100 macro

Opinion: I bought this lens used (little, I would say nothing), I immediately got acquainted with this important ring that conveys the sense of photography, also precise at full aperture, distortion correctable fine in PS, I use it for interior photography and Architecture when the 21 2.8 is short, then when I look at the files being post I am always enthusiastic about seeing the tonalities of the colors and the sharpness that are "Zeiss". I prepare the shot often already in monochrome. For this view there is always a place in the backpack.
