Peire, postcard-pretty pics!
Akul, hard to call your pics "postcards", but I LOVE them!
Ricard, fantastic picture! Though my 35-70 sometimes gives me the impression of somewhat oversaturated colours.
Here are a couple of recent shots with the CYZ 80-200. An into the sun water fountain (wish I had a lens hood to mitigate the flare) and a w/o night shot of an operetta. Dave
Dave -- Glad to help. It's a great improvement for only $10. I did the same for my Zeiss Contax 50/1.4, and even got a short one for my Canon 100L IS -- the stock one is way too long and unwieldy.
First time poster on this forum, though I've been going through the Alt lens section for the last 3 months, educating myself should I say?
Where should I start? This forum has been more than a revelation for me. I stumbled upon this forum (Alt lens to be precise) when I was searching the net on guides/tips to improve my photography in general, since I was going through "Boring Photo Angst" as someone in this forum itself has rightly coined. Since then it has been a detailed course into Alt glass, Lloyd's guides, getting the basics right, Zeiss lenses, studying MTFs, then C/Y lenses (heartache that most dont work on nikon) , adapters, and all this while going through pages and pages and more pages of people's awesome photos here.
I must admit that the effect of the photos using the C/Y mount lenses were really strong and there was an immediate connect. After having gone through so many photos, there was no turning back. Generated funds by selling off unused Nikon gear (still in process) and got a used 5DMkII and a C/Y 50mm 1.7 and C/Y 35 1.4 (I liked this one more than the newer one, just due to the feel of the lens)
The quality of work here is simply outstanding. Thanks to everyone for sharing the info/tips/guides etc.
Thank you, Ajay... The world looks a totally different place through this glass.
It was this thread that started it all...1.4/35 ZE vs. 2/35 ZF vs 1.4/35 C/Y
And this post by Wayne that tipped me towards the C/Y.p.1 #10. The 4th one is mind blowing.
Will upload a few in a while.
Paul, I've gone through the 300+ pages of the Zeiss thread and seen a lot of your bench photos... This one is awesome, though.
