Pros: Sharpness, bokeh

Cons: Flare, warm colours

Opinion: The ZF2 version is near perfect in terms of sharpness and bokeh, and aberrations are low (not however reaching APO level). The lens has some minor, but irritating quirks: a yellow cast (warm colours) requiring post-processing ; flare (minor at f/2 but growing on stopping down!) especially when shooting against bright backgrounds ; significant vignatting. Mechanically, it is perfect. The focus throw is very short between 5m and infinite, but this is overcome by smooth action (no dry friction, or "stick and slip"). The Milvus version is virtually the same lens, but has better coatings, thus getting rid of flare and cast - a dream lens. Price is acceptable if you get it second hand.

Pros: The fact of being there, of existing. A fact for which I feel sincere gratitude to the entire universe.

Cons: No cons. Or.. Maybe one yes: it raises the bar of quality so much, that you start to compare all the other 50mm to it.

Opinion: One of the most exciting, if not the most exciting, 50mm I've had the chance to use. The construction is ultra premium, tactile orgasm. The very high yield, I would say amazing: deep images, which pull you in, with an almost palpable three-dimensionality. A lens that enhances reality, with which photographs are created in which one would want to look out and turn one's gaze to the right and left, above and below. A lens that is a sort of medium capable of adding dreamlike traits to any type of subject, even the most opaque. The Zeiss brand in one of its best expressions.

Pros: Very high yield throughout, and balanced, construction and very reliable mechanics

Cons: nothing in particular

Opinion: Bought over two years ago to use it with a Panasonic GH5 and make videos. It may seem strange but it thus becomes a 100 macro of the highest quality combined with practicality in the field (where it benefits from the excellent stabilization of the GH5): it is not too heavy and too long but well balanced even at maximum extension, and the manual focus is still easy thanks to the excellent ring that turns a lot but not too much. For the rest, the rendering is from Zeiss, with definition and three-dimensionality, detachment of the planes, beautiful colors and unclosed shadows. It does not touch the sublime like the Zeiss 135 Apo-Sonnar, but the latter is a more recent project (and heavy, impractical in the middle of a meadow to make butterflies); but the 50 is only a wire below, with a very balanced yield of all optical parameters

Pros: Construction quality, glass quality.

Cons: Price a bit high for a 1:2 ratio goal.

Opinion: Really great in everything if we only see things like robustness and optical quality. Too bad it's only a ratio of 1:2, but even there is still a pretty impressive detail. It particularly likes the almost 360-degree fire ring that allows you to adjust the focus as precisely as possible and makes its use for macros rightly very comfortable. With very small subjects, I add an extension ring for a greater macro ratio. It has its own weight because it is built with so much metal, but this is forgotten immediately after seeing how robust and precise is the lens (-:

Pros: Sharpness and risolvenza from primato.rnGhiera focus that is a solid goduria.rnCostruzione impeccable.

Cons: For he considers a problem: the weight.

Opinion: I bought this lens by chance in a store that sold it at a price accessbile.rnVolevo a 50mm clear, and that behaved well in macro, you say, this was the choice azzeccata.rnAppena picked is the spark : elegant, robust, perfetto.rnIl only hood implies that here we talk about quality without compromise. Tried on the 5D Mark II, the manual focus is a godsend, the ring is smooth, with a long hike (I had never experienced anything like it), this makes the focus very precisely. The chip confirmation is perfetto.rnHo made some shots and I was impressed by the results: a clarity never seen before, and I've had for so long a 70-200 f / 4, still use a 300 f / 4L to IS.rnTornato home, I try to do some macro result? I sold 180L Macro. Fantastic colors, detachment plans monstrous, three-dimensional incredibile.rnUnico point: it's still a 50mm, I dare not imagine what could be the 100mm.rnUn precisely: the lens & egrAve; 9cm long with small lens hood, the minimum focusing distance is extended to other 4cm.
