If you really want a 3d looks - Then get a Zeiss 100mm f/2 Makro Planar on a 5D or other full frame camera (D700 or whatever else). One of the best in my opinion.
Manual focus is a pain many times though, thats why I\'m sticking to L lenses.
Wonderful shots, lovinglife.
IMHO, the Zeiss 21mm is better than the Zeiss 100mm when it comes to 3D. The Zeiss 100mm is still excellent, though. But still, I don\'t like the thoughts of buying the very best glasses available on the first try. They will be there sooner or later in the \"ultimate\" kit, but not for now.
MF is for everything except running people and dark places. In those circumstances I much prefer AF over MF. Probably I will get one lens for those as well, the 135L maybe.
Thanks Keira -
You may be right about the 2.8/21 being better than the 2/100 - of course we r comparing 2 polar opposite focal lengths
I cannot comment, since i\'ve never owned the 2.8/21 though it is very tempting to buy- instead i ended up with the 24mm TSE II which is an excellent lens as well. I may buy the 2.8/21 in the future (or the upcoming 1.4/35).
As much as I love alternate lenses, my main problem is my eyesight is not getting any better and the benefits of autofocus cannot be overstated
That being said, I firmly stand by the fact that 35L, 85L II and 135L are still 3 of the very best and definitely hold their own.
