davewolfs Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · CZ 100mm f2.0 ZF Samples. Made you look! Could someone please post some sample shots. There has to be some users on this forum who own this lens. Flaunt your shots! Dave Jul 30, 2007 at 11:07 PM

RobertP Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #2 · CZ 100mm f2.0 ZF Samples. Ah! You are an evil, evil man. I think there's one user here so far with the lens, but we'll see. Jul 31, 2007 at 01:39 AM

intero Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #3 · CZ 100mm f2.0 ZF Samples. < sarcasm > I think the lens must be a dud, as no one wants to show off their shots. < / sarcasm > I *may* pick one up to try against my Voigtlander 125/2.5, Nikkor 85PC, and a Sigma 150 2.8 that's coming. I loved my Zuiko 90/2 on my ol' 1Dmk2. That length is a blast with a fast aperture lens. Anyone in Boston (with the Zeiss to bring to the party) want to get together to try these all out? One caveat - I shoot a D200 - so any EF users out there, you'll need to bring your own adapters. -Tom Jul 31, 2007 at 11:34 AM

intero Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #5 · CZ 100mm f2.0 ZF Samples. If only it were a Nikon Mount Macro we'd be in business. Interestingly enough, I've now that I've had more time to play with the Voigtlander, I've decided to sell the 85PC. Still, someone has to have this lens and actually be taking shots with it. Come on people, share! -Tom Aug 01, 2007 at 01:31 PM

Conner999 Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #6 · CZ 100mm f2.0 ZF Samples. check diglloyd's site - has sample pics and raves over the 100/2 and the 35/2. Looking at the resolution tests of the 35/2 on photozone I can understand why - holy !@#. Aug 01, 2007 at 05:48 PM

intero Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #7 · CZ 100mm f2.0 ZF Samples. I have the ZF 2/35. On my D200 it is an absolute rock star of a lens. -Tom Aug 01, 2007 at 06:13 PM

davewolfs Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #8 · CZ 100mm f2.0 ZF Samples. I second that. I love the 35/2. Aug 01, 2007 at 08:45 PM

Conner999 Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #9 · CZ 100mm f2.0 ZF Samples. intero - useless without pics 1 ;> Anyone know what the 100/2 is like mid-distance & the focus throw range (e.g. 360 deg or 720 deg). Thinking of suitability for portraits as well as macro. Aug 02, 2007 at 04:05 PM

intero Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #10 · CZ 100mm f2.0 ZF Samples. I can't answer your question regarding the throw of the ZF100, but I can post a couple of shots from the ZF 2/35. Let me preface this by saying what I think makes this lens so great. The color reproduction is better than ANY other lens I've ever used. And that includes all the Nikons I've tossed on this body, and the Canon's (and Zuiko's) I used in my Canon days. It's just spot on. Sure, I could "punch it up" in post, but I don't take pictures to capture how things weren't, I take them to capture how they were, and with that aim in mind, I am exceptionally happy with this lens. No crazy PP, just a simple snap of a friends' lovely daughter who had just finished showing me their cordless phone. Another friend's backyard. Don't tell me about my horizons - it's the bay that's not straight. This is not sharp, is noisy, and was handheld at 1/15th, but printed it still a great mood to it and kinda works. Kinda. One more. Posted before in the Nikon Forum. A young Sox fan relaxing in the Summer sun. Yeah, the clouds could use some work, but hey, a nice lens can't make up for blown technique! -Tom Edited by intero on Aug 02, 2007 at 11:45 AM GMT Aug 02, 2007 at 04:29 PM

Conner999 Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #11 · CZ 100mm f2.0 ZF Samples. Very, very nice. Thank you. What camera was used for the top two pics? This lens is at the top of my short list. Aug 02, 2007 at 04:44 PM

intero Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #12 · CZ 100mm f2.0 ZF Samples. All were shot with a D200. One thing that's not captured in the pictures is how nice this lens is to use. It's just nice - and relatively inexpensive considering ... Ok, that might be a bit of rationalization there ... Finally, none of these shots were shots that I took thinking "man, I really want to try and show off this lens" - they were all shots where I thought "dang, I love this moment" - snap. -Tom Aug 02, 2007 at 04:49 PM

thedruid Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #13 · CZ 100mm f2.0 ZF Samples. Wow none of these could be made with a Canon lens? What happened to Big Pappi or is that Big Baby? Aug 02, 2007 at 08:58 PM

intero Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #14 · CZ 100mm f2.0 ZF Samples. Yes, none of these could be made with a Canon lens - as no Canon lens will fit my D200 ... -Tom Aug 02, 2007 at 09:35 PM

Edward Kelsey Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #15 · CZ 100mm f2.0 ZF Samples. What about the 25mm? Anyone tried that? Seems like a good choice especially on a smaller than full frame chip camera. Aug 02, 2007 at 10:00 PM

Conner999 Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #16 · CZ 100mm f2.0 ZF Samples. With the 35/2 what I find intriquing is the close focus distance - 0.3m (app 1') Aug 02, 2007 at 10:47 PM

intero Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #17 · CZ 100mm f2.0 ZF Samples. One of the things that I like about the Zeiss ZFs's and Voigtlander is the fact that should I jump camps again back to Canon, I can take lenses I already like (love?) with me. And yes, the close focusing of the 2/35 rocks. -Tom Aug 02, 2007 at 11:08 PM

Jorgen Udvang Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #18 · CZ 100mm f2.0 ZF Samples. There's a thread at dpreview with some sample shots. Looks very nice: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1030&message=24256436 Aug 06, 2007 at 11:32 AM

weekh Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #19 · CZ 100mm f2.0 ZF Samples. I'm interested to know 2 points: 1. The lens review from the Japan website shows very bad CA at big aperture. The lens used could be a pre-production sample. Wonder if the final product still exhibit the CA. 2. How does this lens compare to the Leica AA 90 f2 at the non-macro range. Aug 06, 2007 at 01:08 PM

If you find that intriguing you should look at the 25/2.8. I believe it can focus to less then .1m. Aug 06, 2007 at 01:20 PM
