Picture of the Day

I hate you dude....
did you rent? buy? loaner?

i was torn about the 35mm f/2 or the 100mm f/2. on a FF camera its pretty wide and i just dont do that much wider angles stuff.
both Planar T ZE lenses are a freak of nature, no other lenses out today tha ti know of match these lenses resolving power.
i was seriously seriously going to offer up my 135mm f/2L and my 100mm F/2.8L for an even trade on a Zeiss 100mm f/2 ZE
but i think the 100mm f/2 is actually better but not sure. but again its a lens that isnt meant for short range indoor stuff although could easily be a portrait lens if need be.

Zeiss glass is really nice.

I bought it used actually. The person had forgot his own for some work and had to buy a another one. You can't really see that it is used though, but it saved me a few bucks.

My intention was to use it on a crop to get the normal 50mm, however with the possibility for use on ff as well.
But I got to say I was a bit afraid of the manual focus and I think I should get an Ef-S focus screen to compliment it, but the focus ring really helps here it's super tight and very precise.

The 100mm f2 looks insanely nice and is pretty much next on my list, given that I have been looking for a shortish tele for some time now. Even though the Canon 100mm f2.8 sure is tempting as well.


I am going to edit some more pics later today. =)
