p.1 #1 · Have oppertunity for Zeiss glass, should I take it? | |
I saw over on the B+S forum a Zeiss 50mm 1.7 for a small amount of money, much much less that i ever expected to see a zeiss for..
and as I researched it, it got sold 
but Now i have an opportunity to pick up the much more highly rated 50 1.4 CY version for not much more than the 1.7
this is for a 1Ds so itll need to be adapted.
But after reading a lot of threads about the different zeiss 50mm lenses, the consensus seems to be that they are not the best for wide open / bokeh shots. Which is exactly what I want to do. I have the Canon 50 1.8 and it stinks :P
Recently, I grabbed some of my old MF pentax lenses and started playing with them again with the FF, and I have an Asahi pentax 50 1.4 and a 85 1.8 and a spiratone 135 1.8 and theyre fun, so I thought a MF Zeiss would be fun to play with too, but it seems that if I want sharp, wide open, smooth bokeh, "3d-ish" shots, the zeiss doesnt seem to be what I want. Suggestions / thoughts / ideas? Im working on a >500$ so the ZE or Sigma would be a tough sell
