Re: What Zeiss lenses have the most Zeiss "magic"?


As far lenses with more character/less corrected of the many I’ve owned these stand out more:

Zeiss 80/2.8 (Hasselblad)
Contax G21 and G28
CY 28/2
CY 35/1.4
Contarex 85/2
ZM 50/1.5
Contax N 85/1.4

If I want much higher contrast and but with some structure in the draw…

ZM 35/1.4
ZA 50/1.4

And high contrast + smooth bokeh (but this type of draw has lost much of its appeal to me, but Zeiss does it as well as anyone):

Loxia 21/2.8
RX1 35/2 Sonnar
ZF 100/f2
ZA 135/1.8

There’s so much good Zeiss glass over the years.
