Zeiss 35 f/1.4 Official
wtlloyd:
Negative comments by people who have never used a Zeiss lens...why am I shocked?
Why aren't you embarrassed?
scalesusa:
Typical Zeiss announcement, a paper lens only, available next February, but deliveries might slip a year or two. They would better serve their customers by waiting until it existed before announcing it.
nzmargolies:
im surprised nobody has commented that the lens only goes to f/16. Not a huge deal, especially with the relatively large dof of a 35mm lens, but still. this lens is >24mm, so having a smaller aperture is necessary in some critical applications. Or even to slow the shutter speed. I don't understand why the aperture blades just can't be set to close a little smaller

Because I have actual reviews to base my opinion on.
And I'm not shocked, because in today's Internet, for all I know any other responder might be a dog who never used a Zeiss lens (is Zeiss by any other name still a Zeiss ?) either, but will flatter the brand for money.

While no company has a perfect lineup--i.e. stellar lenses at all focal lengths--sounds like some folks are basing their thoughts on all zeiss lenses based on the performance of a couple--the 50 and 85 in particular. I totally get this, but i will say, owning only the ZE 21mm lens, that i've found nothing that compares to it for the photos it produces (out of the camera, pre-pp), and the sharpness at that focal length. If you look at the digital picture's review of that lens, you'll see that it's very different than the 85mm lens review. Those who only focus on reviews from others and don't actually try lenses for themselves are missing out in my opinion.
i think there will always be a few camps--those that swear by zeiss glass and those that "won't be caught dead" using it. ford and chevy. or in this case, BMW and Audi since these are not cheap. for me, i pick and choose among all manufacturers products to meet my needs. Of course, i think the best photographer in the world is the one having the most fun, too...
