RickP Posted October 10, 2018 Share #1  Posted October 10, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just received a new-to-me Zeiss 85mm f 4.0 ZM lens. I stepped outside to take a few test shots. It is a nice size, not too heavy (310 grams) "Short telephoto" - looks like a 135 when mounted on a crop sensor CL, TL body. It seems very sharp and colorful - at least with my first test shots.  Rick  Welcome, dear visitor!

wda Posted October 10, 2018 Share #4 Â Posted October 10, 2018 Very impressive results, Â Rick. A short telephoto is a remarkably useful lens to possess. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramarren Posted October 11, 2018 Share #5  Posted October 11, 2018 Lovely! You're inspiring me to take out my M-Rokkor 90mm f/4 (the same lens as a Leica Elmar-C 90/4, made on the same production line for my early one) and play with it on the CL for a bit. It's a tiny little lens... 🙂 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
