p.2 #1 · Thinking about swapping 50L for Zeiss Primes...


Here is the link to the image thread I started here in the forum for the ZF/ZE 50 Makro-Planar:

https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/849238/0?keyword=zeiss,50,MP#7928602

I would recommend replacing your 50L with the ZE 50 MP unless you need the speed and shallow DOF of the 50L.
I have three 50's right now, ZE 50/2 MP, contax N 50/1.4, and Rokkor 58/1.2.
I recommend renting a ZE 50 MP and seeing for yourself whether you want to replace the 50L.
I don't think your 50L has a chance against the ZE 50/2 MP.

Wayne, already ordered
Life is too short. And I loved your examples. After trying a couple of good
Zeiss lenses, it's hard not to buy another one...

Glad we could help with your Zeiss lens addiction!
Pls. post your shots to that thread when you get your copy.
Hope you get a great copy and got some bing cashback on it.

BTW, after seeing your excellent Italy trip shots with the 35 and 21, I was thinking how much better shots posted here in the alt forum with Zeiss lenses are compared to those few lousy example shots on the Zeiss website.

Just saw Lloyd's glowing comments about the ZE 50 MP on his blog for wed:

Pretty much the same thing as we have been saying here.

My feelings too. Unfortunately, the Zeiss website seems to have little going on.
