Yes ... we sacrifice time, $$$, weight, space & covenience (AF), speed etc. to achieve our goals. No one is saying that a Zeiss lens is the ONLY lens that can achieve this ... just that there are some very specific lenses which have a much greater consistency in their ability to produce ... and Zeiss happens to make several of these.
But does Bifurcator really think that so many people would go to these efforts if it could be done with just any \'good\' lens?
This is from a \'lowly\' Zeiss 80-200 f4. It\'ll never take on a 100/2 ... it is a slow lens, yet I have a hard time parting with, so it takes up space in my bag. If I had the budget, I would replace it with a MORE 3D-ish producing lens, e.g. 100/2. If Bifurcator would like to use it to go head to head with the 100/2 ... I\'d be glad to loan it to you, after you buy a 100/2 ...
then we could make an even trade
BTW ... the print is absolutly stunning with its sense of 3D realism, the owner was blown away.
