Advertisement Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Hi colonel, Take a look here Anyone actually have the Zeiss 35 1.4 yet. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Leicakillen Posted January 15, 2015 Share #2  Posted January 15, 2015 Just a couple of shots at the fair - very good results, I think. A=1,4, ISO 2000, M. Sure big - but not that big. /Anders Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

colonel Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share #4 Â Posted January 16, 2015 I have just compared the lens elements of the Zeiss 35mm f1.4 to the Voigtlander 35mm f1.2 ii and they are remarkably similar. They are both 10/7 and the last 5 groupings look identical to me. Â Even the lenses look very similar in size and construction, apart from the distinctive Zeiss focus ring vs the distinctive Voigtlander focus ring. Â Make sense to share the design but I wonder if its true. The Voigtlander is a remarkably sharp lens with a distinctive warm, contrasty and ethereal type draw. I wonder the technical aspects of the Zeiss's draw, probably slightly more micro-contrast but also slightly colder colours (speculation, I have used the Voigtlander but not even seen the Zeiss yet). Â I would love to compare these side by side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Are you sure about this ? Is there any link you have I can read I think CV started with the same design and tweaked a few elements and put the Zeiss coating on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rscheffler Posted January 17, 2015 Share #10 Â Posted January 17, 2015 I tried the ZM on my M240 at PPE. I've posted some samples with links to the full-rez versions on my blog. I think all were shot wide open. Â I also own the CV35/1.2II. My initial impression is that the ZM is sharper across a greater area of the frame from wide open and pretty much all the way across the frame a couple stops down. Field curvature should also be less with the ZM. With the CV I have considerable difficulty with achieving correct focus on off center subjects when RF focusing at wider apertures. While the PPE images were all EVF magnified focusing, that only works for the very center, and didn't notice any problems when doing focus and recompose. But then, I also only had a very brief time with it. Â While the size difference between the two is not dramatic, the ZM does feel noticeably lighter and not like the solid mass of glass and metal of the CV. Not to say the ZM feels bad because the focus feel I thought was excellent. Â Still waiting to receive mine... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
horosu Posted January 17, 2015 Share #11 Â Posted January 17, 2015 As far as I know, the Zeiss is a double-aspherical FLE design, while the CV has a single aspherical element Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdk Posted January 18, 2015 Share #13 Â Posted January 18, 2015 Still waiting on the 35mm/1.4 I ordered from B&H back in September. I was hoping it would come in time for Christmas, but it looks like it will be closer to my 50th birthday. I hope it's as good as it looks from Lloyd Chambers' tests of a prototype.

sdk Posted January 18, 2015 Share #15 Â Posted January 18, 2015 Hah Jaap, I sometimes feel 26, but there's all that grey hair when I look in the mirror, and my knees give little twinges going down hills and stairs (patellofemoral syndrome). Feb. 13, 2015 is my 50th. Â Really looking forward to this little self present. The ZM 35mm/1.4 looks to give even better results than the 35mm/2.8 I have now, an amazing technical achievement.

gyoung Posted January 18, 2015 Share #16 Â Posted January 18, 2015 Only a spring chicken yet, give it another 20 years and the idea of waiting months for an item, or for the next wonder digital camera to come along is less attractive, its time wasted, I want it NOW :-) I thought I had settled in to a peaceful 'old age' and the M3 and M6 would see me out... And then along comes digital, and most of what I have learnt in 50 years has to be reassessed, it certainly keeps the mind active :-) Â Gerry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrp Posted January 18, 2015 Share #18 Â Posted January 18, 2015 The Zeiss seems to have been several years in gestation. Not clear why it has taken them so long to get the product ready. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
