Cant help watching these Zeiss-threads since quite some time and enjoy the pictures. Martynas, Denoir, Makten, Carstenw and others continously post outstanding shots + PP. Very inspiring, thank you!
Having had a 5D2 for some time now (moving up from a 7D) I\'ve recently started to turn my attention to MF because of the lenses that then become available. I recently bought my first MF which is a Samyang 14/2.8. Together with an AF-confirm adapter and some practice on when the \"AF-confirmation\" actually means that the focal-plane is exactly where it should be, it produces very sharp images. For the money it\'s almost ridiculous.
Now, being a Canonguy theres another non-L lens-vacuum around 35mm. So I am thinking of the Zeiss ZE35. You did this to me ;-)
But what is your preferred way of focusing dead-on? I am not a tripod-person that want to invoke LVx10 - I want to set focus dead-on reasonably fast. As said, the AF-confirm works very well, but on the other hand it\'s at 14mm and that is by definition more liberal than when moving up to 35 - or 85, 100 for that matter. I don\'t want to trust the machines... 8-)
Micro-prism, split-image or how do you do it? You cannot really get it right with an un-messed Canon focusing-screen (Ee-S which also dims the VF when using slower lenses), can you? Any input from you Zeiss-pro\'s would be very helpful. Thank you.
