p.30 #3 · The official Zeiss 35/1.4 thread

I got an answer from L+B (official Zeiss distributor in Switzerland) this morning:

Das DistagonT 1.4f 35mm ZF.2 fuer Nikon ist noch im Rueckstand, und sollte in den naechsten Wochen eintreffen. Mir ist kein DistagonT 1.4f 35mm fuer Canon bekannt. Wo haben sie sowas gesehen? Es gibt ein DistagonT 2.0f 35mm ZE fuer Canon. Das ist lieferbar fuer 1292.- Sfr

briefly translated:

The Distagon T 1.4f 35mm ZF.2 for Nikon is still delayed and should be available in the next few weeks. And they have no information about a ZE edition of the 35/1.4 ...

Let's hope ...

The Zeiss ZE 21/2.8 in the US is $1700. If a ZE 35/1.4 ever gets released, then it may be around the same price

Not that I will be buying

... I just found the following line in the new product catalog of 'Light+Byte', which is an official Zeiss distributor here in Switzerland:

Zeiss Distagon 35 mm

ZE 1762-850: 35 mm 2.0 ZE . . . .Fr. 1'369.–
ZE 1771-843: 35 mm 1.4 ZF.2 . . .Fr. 2'358.–

Note the last line! Prices are in Swiss Francs, so the 35/1.4 would have more or less the same price as the 21/2.8.

That's due to the 3-blade aperture on the Rollei's.

Not the best display of this lens' capabilities, but it was rather low light and a grab shot

Notice the less than perfect handling of the lights courtesy of a scratched front element :\

It's a good capture Empire, but yes, that light makes it look as if it was shot using a bad UV filter.. Is it badly scratched?

The lens is quite badly scratched, but I very rarely have a problem with it. Some parts of the image occasionally have lower contrast around lights but i's far less troublesom than I thought it would be - and for the price I paid it's quite OK in my books

It still has more contrast wide open than my Rokkor and a few of my other lenses

That's amazing....

Okay....I gotta get this lens...

What is a fair price for a mint one?
KEH has them for $1200's .... is that a good price?

Yes they have, but 1200 is on the stiff side. Unless you want a LN- lens, you might find the same performance for around half the price. OTOH, the 1.4 is such good glass, that even a new ZE version can´t beat it by that much.

I have enjoyed mine a minimum focus distance for flower shots lately. Remarkable, both wide open and stopped down.

Awesome shot Andreas, and yes, there is definitely some 3D going on there.

Paul: For a mint, $1200 is about right. For ones with cosmetic wear but where the glass is in perfect order you can expect to pay about $1,000. The cheapest I've seen have been around $800, but then it was with minor scratches on the glass..

Some assorted shots:

Modern T* coating would definitely do a better job with moon and its reflection:

A bit of cheap 3D..

Some more triangular bokeh: (around f/5.6 I would guess)
