Nikon Zf as a platform for adapted/native manual focus lenses

...I was reading up on the Zeiss lenses a bit and one thing I read was the ZF/ZF.2 version are not the same rendering as the older lenses. From what I read - the older ones have more character and the newer are much more like typical modern lenses. Do you have any experience using the older vs new Zeiss lenses?


I would put the classic lenses also in the category "older" as oposed to Batis, Loxia, Otus and Milvus (F mount) and the latest Otus ML. Some of the Milvus are similar to the classic lenses, but I can't comment on that really, since I don't own any of those.
The C/Y lenses where always highly praized, but so where the ZF/ZE/ZM lenses and many of the newer ones.

You can check out more of my images at my member page https://www.zeissimages.com/member-photos/1371
and plenty more of other users there. This site is Zeiss only, and when you click "search" you can filter for any particular lens you want to see.
Thankfully Jorge Torralba also fixed my image-links at the ZF/ZE/ZM thread. Unfortunately many other user's images don't show up any more at the earlier posts.

There is 1118 pages of Zeiss goodness. You might want to post your questions there too?
