Re: Best microcontrast at 50mm


Zeiss ZF 50 makro.

Micro contrast is incredible, even at distance.

There are other fine 50's, but I can't imagine a better compliment to the Siggy.

The CY 50/1.4 is also a fine lens, and available for a lot less, but it simple is not as sharp or contrasty as the makro. (and my 1.4 was cherry-picked from 4 nice examples) It is close, though, (esp at F/8 + )and may be a good bet for the money.

I have example pics, but no way to give you access to high-res versions. A low-res FM post probably wouldn't show the differences well.

Micro contrast is its raison de'etre.
