Re: Your Top 3 Lenses of All Time
Here is my modest input. I don’t have such a huge experience like many long-livers here on FM so my apologies for being too simple.
#1 is Carl Zeiss 100 Makro-Planar f/2 ZE/ZF.2 classic. I’m so curious why nobody mentions it however it used to be very popular here on Alt forum for a while. Love how it renders, its sharpness, separation, flare resistance. LoCA issue disappoints a bit yet corrects easily in ACR.
#2 is Canon EF 16-35 f/4 L IS USM. Very sharp with good rendering and bokeh close-up. It has field curvature to be aware of. Love its sunstars a lot.
#3 is Nikon AF-S 28-300 f/3.5-5.6 VR. A universal superzoom that a must have for a travel photographer. VR is very good. IQ is very good stopped down to f/8-11. At 300mm it is sharp only in the center and for landscape work must be stopped down to f/16.
P. S. Many inputs correspond mostly to rendering qualities of lenses making them unique. The only lens that I sold and still miss is ZE 50/1.4 Planar. Def I will re-purchase it soon no matter its drawbacks like focus shift and softness close-up and WO.
