p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Nikon Df and Zeiss 135mm f/2 Apo Sonnar T* ZF.2 Lens | |
Greetings,
I'm new to this forum, and actually to Nikon as well. I am currently using the Df with the Sigma 50mm f1.4 Art lens. I feel that it has been a wonderful combination together. I'm very impressed with the colors, contrast, sharpness all right out of the camera with very rarely feeling to the need to do any post processing....and when I do, I've just been using the onboard iPhoto application that is on my Macbook Pro Retina laptop. Very simplistic indeed, but so far haven't felt the need to get into anything more in depth from the offerings of Lightroom, etc.
I'd like to start adding to my collection of primes to go along with my Df. I want quality glass, as free from distortions as possible and to continue with vibrant colors, excellent contrast and sharpness. I've been thinking that the Zeiss 135mm f2 APO might be the next logical choice for me (it doesn't appear that Sigma will be coming out with an Art 135 anytime soon). I'm aware that the Zeiss is manual only focus and that there will be a learning curve for me, but I am willing to put in the time to overcome that obstacle in order to be able to have a lens that will have the ability to produce truly breathtaking images. I think I will also be okay with the weight of this lens as well.
My questions for all of you who own or have owned the Zeiss 135 APO.....
Do you or did you have any regrets owning this lens and if so, what were they?
Any tips that may help me with perfecting the manual focus aspect of this lens?
Any other thoughts or comments that you'd like to share with me before I pull the trigger on this lens?
Thank you for taking the time to read this post and sharing your experiences with me.
Best wishes,
No Regrets
