duoenboge Posted May 18, 2019 Share #66 Posted May 18, 2019 Am 14.01.2019 um 07:22 schrieb lct: Then you'll have to make do with focus shift on the ZM 50/1.5. Either it is calibrated at f/1.5 like mine and you'll have to adjust focusing manually from f/2 to f/5.6 more or less. Or it is calibrated at f/2.8 and you'll have to do the same at f/1.5, f/2 and probably above f/2.8 to some extent but i have no experience with this. By comparison, my M 50/2 v4 and v5 have a bit of focus shift around f4, f/5.6 but it feels less pronounced than on the ZM. I mean on rangefinders since focus shift is not a problem on mirrorless cameras or M bodies in EVF mode when focusing a working aperture. Aside from focus shift, the ZM is infinitely sharper at f/1.5 . Compared to the M 50/1.4 asph it is rather soft there which is exacly what i like for portraits. At f/2, both ZM and M 50/2 are sharp enough at the centre, the ZM being a bit softer there but also sharper at edges and corners. At f/2.8, both are sharp at the center but the ZM feels a bit sharper at corners. At other apertures, both lenses are sharp everywhere aside from focus shift mentioned above. None are free from field curvature (like all my 50's but the M 50/2 apo) and none car be considered clinically sharp in that they have less acutance than modern asph lenses like M 50/1.4 asph. But none give a feeling of softness either at the exception of the ZM at f/1.5 and to a lesser extent f/2. Otherwise the ZM has more vignetting and less CA, also less flare than the M 50/2. Both have a rather soft bokeh and feel compact on the M240. In used the M(Type240) before I switched to M10-P. I never noticed any focus shift with this lens. I get the same results when I focus with range finder or with the EVF. Inpossible when the would be any focus shift. Am I wrong? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
horosu Posted May 18, 2019 Share #67 Posted May 18, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) It seemes newer ones are calibrated at f2, and this neatly solves focus-shift problems in most situations. Can't give you the exact link, though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Marshall Posted May 19, 2019 Share #69 Posted May 19, 2019 Just wondering how bad the focus shift is with this lens, are we talking millimetres or inches out at wide apertures. If I purchased one it would be used on my film M’s and M8/M9 so wouldn’t be wanting to guess accurate focus and maybe wasting film. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted May 19, 2019 Share #70 Posted May 19, 2019 Hi Geoff, It depends which aperture it's been optimised to. As standard they used to be optimised in the factory to f/2.8, presumably because Zeiss assumed that the majority of people would shoot it at f/2.8, but you could send them back to the factory to be optimised for f/1.5. Mine was already optimised to f/1.5 when I bought it and focus shift is noticeable at f/2.8 and f/4 but less so at f/5.6 and onwards because the depth of field by that stage masks it reasonably well. Since it's a fast lens I tend to shoot it wide open so I rarely see the focus shift. Pete. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Pete so if I Bought one new it would be ok for wide open, if that’s the case I think I will have a look at one as I would be using it either wide open for low light or stopped down for street.

farnz Posted May 20, 2019 Share #73 Posted May 20, 2019 Hi Geoff, If you bought one new you'd need to specify to the retailer that you want one that's optimised to f/1.5. The retailer might need to send it back to Zeiss's Mothership to be adjusted or he might have one on hand. Otherwise there's a chance that the new lens would be optimised to f/2.8 and you'd be likely to experience some focus shift when shooting wide open. Pete.

With mine it is about 1cm and a half, noticeable only really when shooting portraits wide-open and up close, where the longstanding trick is to focus on the front of the ear rather than the eye. If more than a couple of meters away from the subject I usually do not worry as the increased DOF covers the focus shift. I use mine mainly at night on film, where it is more flare resistant than a Summilux, and also has a nice vintage look that works well with film images. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
