Pros: Small, Leight, Sharpness, Bokeh, Hard Stop to Infinity

Cons: Expensive

Opinion: The Contax Zeiss Makro-Planar 60mm f/2.8 C is a compact 1:2 Macro Lens. It can replace the normal focal lenght. Actually it's better than the Contax Zeiss 1.7/50 and the 1.4/50. So it's nice to have it in the bag along with a wide angle and tele lens. I'm using it now with a Sony A7RII. The current price tag is 400 EUR which is defenetly a collector price. So it depends if you have a passion for Zeiss lenses or not. If not you may choose the Voigtlander E 65mm f/2 Macro Apo-Lanthar which is much better. The lens is light and small which fits perfectly to the Sony A7RII. It's a well balanced combination. The lens is easy to focus at any distance. The Contax Zeiss Makro-Planar 60mm f/2.8 C more contrasty then other Contax Zeiss lenses. Generally it's fun to use it. For me it is not a disadvantage that it is only 1:2 Macro lens, cause I use it usually hand held. Shooting Macro hand held with this lens means when you choose 1:3 all shots will be sharp. Shooting with 1:2 requires a tripod with this lens.

Pros: Optics uncompromising, the use for two years on a Canon 5D and I've never been disappointed, the yield at the center is notable already at full aperture, the edges will equate the middle by F 5.6, which is not a ptoblema for a macro perspective, reaches the magnification ratio 1: 1 without adding extension tubes.

Cons: Weight, for those photographing insects is certainly a little "short" but for macro flora and reproductions is a great workhorse, to be able to utilize the infinite remember to focuse urilizzando depth of field sharp because it tends to lock the mirror of 5D, but being a macro ....

Opinion: A perspective that has solved many of the problems I had with the excellent despite Planar 100f2 I used with extension tubes, greater resilience to small apertures and contrast and sharpness esemplari.rnrnSpesso overvalued in used I bought 400 euros in excellent condition Hold rpesente that surface scratches on the front lens are effectively invisible because of the use in optical diaphragms chiusi.rnrnUn recommended for those who fear him stop down, coupled with the use of a ring flash Sigma (EM 140DG) and used with due corrections and a little 'break-in provides excellent results.
