Re: The official Zeiss 35/1.4 thread


Wilhelm, great Volvo shots.

I have been struggling to learn ZE version, and it seems that in order to get the drawing style I prefer I need to be quite close to the subject, maybe 2-3 meters being the optimum. With C/Y version it seems to be that the same look I\'m searching can be achieved much larger distances, somewhere between 4-7 meters (as shown by Wilhelm\'s Volvo shots).


Few photos, which I think are OK from rendering point of view - having \"presence\" and feeling of \"being there\":
A. f/3.5 (with ZE) - larger


B. f/1.4 (with ZE) - larger



And then some, which are nice/ok, but from rendering point of view I didn\'t get what I wanted:
C. f/2.2 (with ZE) - larger


D. f/2.2 (with ZE) - larger


E. f/2.2 (with ZE) - larger


F. f/2.2 (with ZE) - larger


G. f/2.2 (with ZE) - larger


H. f/2.2 (with ZE) - larger


This must be the most frustrating lens ever invented. I still don\'t know should I get C/Y version or just try to learn this one more. If I forget the \"zeiss look\", this is marvelous lens; extreme good colors and very little aberrations when closed down. Very smooth and usable bokeh under any circumstances starting from f/2.8.
