Popular Post benqui Posted July 24, 2022 Popular Post Share #1 Posted July 24, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) I do not know how long but for a couple of years I have a Contax Sonnar 2.8/135 which I never used. It is very well made, solid, good feel of surface. I thought to test it with the Novoflex adapter on the M10 for portraiture sessions. And to be honest, I found the results very convincing (which means that I am completely enthusiastic) I never thought that it could look so harmonic and beautiful. To me it is one of the best deals you can find on the market. For around 200 Euro it is a really very strong competitor to the other 135 Leica lenses. Hope you like the results Welcome, dear visitor!

Advertisement Posted July 24, 2022 Posted July 24, 2022 Hi benqui, Take a look here Lígia, M10 and the Contax/Zeiss Sonnar 2.8/135. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
kalokeri Posted July 24, 2022 Share #2 Posted July 24, 2022 It´s a fantastic lens, I agree - believing you mean the one for the Contax RTS. If you come across the 2.8/85mm, try it. To me it is one of the best "portrait"-lenses ever with a unique character. Thomas 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl_valiquet Posted July 24, 2022 Share #6 Posted July 24, 2022 This is a beautiful portrait of a very beautiful woman. When I was a young photographer the 135 was THE portrait lens. Must say that the image you are posting benqui confirms this. And it seems that the Contax lens 135 is a great lens. Regards. Carl. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StS Posted August 4, 2022 Share #16 Posted August 4, 2022 Well, this is one of the coincidences you think you wouldn't get away with when writing fiction. Picking up a new passport today, I passed a photographic shop and saw a Sonnar 2.8/135 in the shop window... Stefan Welcome, dear visitor!

StS Posted August 7, 2022 Share #20 Posted August 7, 2022 I've ordered the house-brand adapter of Brenner Foto in Weiden - let's see how this works. Vermutlich könnte ich diese Information auch auf Deutsch senden; da man ihre Webseite nicht auf Englisch schalten kann, werden sie wohl nicht ins Ausland senden...
