For me the only reason to prefer the Ultron over the Distagon, I think, is money. In this case, I think you get what you pay for
looks to me like the cv has noticeably smoother bokeh in a number of situations at a cost of slightly lower contrast and bite. the smaller size is another reason to prefer it...
What do you think of the secondary CA issue Steve DK mentions with the ZM 35/1.4, which gets worse as it stops down?
I PMed Steve to come and explain it to us.
i\'m guessing what he is referring to is just typical defocused CA, what people usually mean when they say loCA. pretty much every highly corrected lens that isn\'t a good APO shows this more than less corrected lenses because of the higher contrast. the FE 55 and the new milvus 50/1.4 have kinda been panned for this as well. i don\'t think it should have a big impact on Rich\'s shots since he typically seems to try to keep things in focus all the way to infinity with that focal length (from what i\'ve seen of his work).
Hi Derek,
With such a fast lens, I may do a some work with much shallower DOF as a possibility so though it might not normally be an issues with much of my work, it could potentially become an issue with which I may need to deal. I do tend to use a lot of DOF as you say. Since my 40mm focal length has now become my go to focal length for much of what I have I have been using, my new 35mm lenght lens is going to become one of my most used lenses.
