microview Posted February 27, 2015 Share #81 Posted February 27, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Finally, B&H is shipping my Black 35mm/1.4. Later than hoped but earlier than they told me last week! I should have it by Monday. YAY! So will you have taken ~1000 pics with the Zeiss lens in the three days after delivery? :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Hi microview, Take a look here Zeiss Distagon T* 1.4/35 ZM availability? Has anyone gotten a serial version yet?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
thighslapper Posted February 27, 2015 Share #82 Posted February 27, 2015 Took a load of pics this am. to see which is the best manual lens setting ....... from what I can see the plain 35/1.4 (pre asph) gives the best results and almost completely eliminates vignetting at f1/.4. tried everything available lens from 24-50 and this was the best choice ..... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrp Posted February 28, 2015 Share #83 Posted February 28, 2015 The latest Lightroom has a profile for the lens that corrects the vignetting at wider apertures, if you need it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdk Posted February 28, 2015 Share #84 Posted February 28, 2015 So will you have taken ~1000 pics with the Zeiss lens in the three days after delivery? :D Heh, I wish. Monday will be busy, I even have to teach a lab on heart anatomy and EKGs to extension school biology students. But maybe I can take some handheld night shots on the way home.

TheGodParticle/Hari Posted February 28, 2015 Share #85 Posted February 28, 2015 So will you have taken ~1000 pics with the Zeiss lens in the three days after delivery? :D The number has gone up. Significantly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orient XI Posted February 28, 2015 Share #86 Posted February 28, 2015 (edited) But doesn't it work faster, work nonstop and more accurately? Surely it can work 365 days a year and does not require parental upbringing, education of 15-20 years, constantly increasing salary to buy stuff, retirement benefits and medical insurance, etc. Maybe, but it can't be made by unskilled labour while humans can.

TheGodParticle/Hari Posted February 28, 2015 Share #88 Posted February 28, 2015 Any observations on how it behaves with your Monochrom? I can tell you tomorrow James ... I've shot lots with the M240 and the M9 so far, the Monochrom is up next The performance so far is really impressive on both the cameras, will sort and share the files tomorrow night CET.

I've never been a fan of 35mm ...... but I can see me using this extensively with it stuck on 1.4 ........ Now I actually have a copy that focusses properly I am even more impressed This is a repeat shot of the church interior from today ...... and a 100% crop .... Welcome, dear visitor!

thighslapper Posted February 28, 2015 Share #90 Posted February 28, 2015 and an exciting shot of a concrete post to show the vignetting at 1.4 when set as 35/1.4 non asph ...... ....... zilch ........ and colour fidelity and contrast excellent even wide open ....

thighslapper Posted February 28, 2015 Share #91 Posted February 28, 2015 and a couple more thrilling shots ....... I'm afraid the weather is grey, damp and apart from sheep I can't find a lot to take photos of when out with the dog .... .... at least using 1.4 adds a touch more interest by isolating the subject ..... and you can see what the bokeh is like ....

microview Posted March 1, 2015 Share #92 Posted March 1, 2015 apart from sheep I can't find a lot to take photos of when out with the dog So can we see some sheep besides the lichen? Having left Gloucestershire to live in London I don't see the former any more! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGodParticle/Hari Posted March 1, 2015 Share #93 Posted March 1, 2015 Any observations on how it behaves with your Monochrom? James, the lens lives up to Zeiss's claims. I shot extensively with the Monochrom and the 35/1.4ZM today and I'm seriously impressed. I will share a few untinkered (DNG -> LR -> JPEG) samples tomorrow. It's a mixed bunch of images with aperture values ranging from f1.4 - f8 shot at close range -> mid range -> infinity. The shoot also reminded me what a remarkable camera the Monochrom is. Truly remarkable camera. The size of the lens does bother me somewhat and the lens is front heavy on the M9 and MM. The bodies tip over when placed on an even surface. That said, though the build quality is excellent on my chrome version, the lens does not feel heavy or bulky. I tried hard to make the lens flare and succeeded. But, under normal use, the performance is superlative. I like the lens so much I might order a second copy, in black finish this time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomB_tx Posted March 2, 2015 Share #95 Posted March 2, 2015 Shame about the bright chrome ring at the front of black ZMs! But the chrome ring is covered by their intended hood, which doesn't scar the chrome like it would a black anodized or painted ring - so the aversion to it must be primarily from those who don't use the ZM hood. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.liam Posted March 2, 2015 Share #96 Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) James, the lens lives up to Zeiss's claims. I shot extensively with the Monochrom and the 35/1.4ZM today and I'm seriously impressed. Out of curiosity, did you find it too 'contrasty' for the Monochrom? I wonder how it compares to the 35 C in this regard--the Biogon C appears to carry this trait even more so than the ZM 2/35 (I've shot the former but not the later).
