As much as I love all my Zeiss lenses, I\'m actually thinking of selling some. It\'s a strange thought, but after every trip I\'m so tired of lugging them around. The results make up for it, but try telling that to my back/shoulder.
This is not a tragedy, I\'d look at it in the flow of life, do change what you want to change. We all gain and loose all the time.
I do still have shoulders strong enough though... and I finally optimized my focusing technique with the MF Zeiss on the 5D3: as \"simple\" as Zacuto Z & Magic Lantern @3 with magic focus. So, no missed focus since.
Jochen, I see you now have your Zeiss 35/1.4 for sale. That surprises me as you were very very enthousiast about this lens. And I could see that in some great pictures of you.
Zeiss lenses are indeed quite heavy and I can understand that it is sometimes too heavy. I now have replaced my shoulder bag with a rucksack and that did the trick for me. With the shoulder bag I couldn\'t walk large distances, but with the rucksack it is no problem at all. Even added with my new ZF.2 15/2.8 is is still a piece of cake. Perhaps you could give that a try.
