    FS: Contax Zeiss 1.2/85 Planar 60 jahre w/ Leitax A-mount

    Hello all, I have decided to move from A-mount to E-mount and scale back my glass in size and cost. I present for your consideration my near mint 1.2/85 60 jahre Planar with a custom installed, chipped A-mount. The mount is non-destructive and reversible to the original Contax mount, which is...

    FS: Contax Zeiss Planars 85 1.4 (Alpha Mnt) & 1.2 (60 years) - Ex cnd, pics

    Hi All, First up: I am selling a near mint copy of the classic, manual Zeiss 1.4/85 Planar with Leitax M42 reversible replacement mount and chipped James Lao M42/Alpha adapter. Includes the Contax Type 4 Metal Hood and 67/88 Ring (virtually new in appearance, with no signs of wear)...

    X-FUJINON EBC 50MM F1.2 ON NEX-5

    Looks great. I can see the lens is capable, but also your touch on the color and composition is great. Would you say that compared to other popular f1.2's that this one is special in some way? Cheers, Kelly. EDIT: I ask because I know you have tried many ;)

    NEX5 with Leica 35mm F2 ASPH

    Results look very good! Is that old house for display or a real home? Seems too quaint to be true! I use A mode only myself, but I can certainly understand using T mode in the same way given the circumstance. Though the NEX seem to be very good at noise handling and with the quality of...

    FF 35mm options

    As Jim mentioned, with a mount change courtesy of www.leitax.com your options really increase. You can consider anything from older Nikkors 35/1.4 for a few hundred, the Contax Zeiss 35/1.4 Distagon and as mentioned the Leica R glass. I used the Contax on an A900 for a year and while I really...

    Waiting for 24/2 Distagon to arrive. Any bokeh shots out there?

    haha-harr! I actually did contact this seller, I am awaiting sample images. I'm paranoid about the QC after some net stories shared. K.

    NEX5 + Samyang 8mm / 3.5

    I think I see a little field curvature in there... j/k haha, nice samples. Green door is my favorite - and a lovely location! Glad to see spring is springing somewhere... Kelly.

    Waiting for 24/2 Distagon to arrive. Any bokeh shots out there?

    Believe it or not - no. Sony Style in Canada has had mine on order for a month. It says it's available in their computer, but it's not shipping to them. It's also not available on Sony Style website in Canada or US at this point... perhaps Sony has a policy of giving their private...

    I really like the way the lens draws, I appreciate the textured background, but for me the color is quite yellow, perhaps the incandescent bulb. Looks good though! K.

    FS: Contax Zeiss T*85/1.2 (MM) Planar 60 Jahre

    To make a long story short - after a couple of years keeping an out for this lens, I stumbled on two at the same time. I've kept the bits that have shown any wear for myself and am packaging all the best bits as a package to recoup some of the investment in my own copy. Here's a chance to get...

    Waiting for 24/2 Distagon to arrive. Any bokeh shots out there?

    I have yes, thanks. To be honest, there really isn't anything in there that leaps out at me as taking advantage of the MFD and wide aperture of the lens. I did find some nice bokeh samples on some Asian sites, like 20-30 pages into a google search of the lens that piqued my curiousity, but I'm...

    Waiting for 24/2 Distagon to arrive. Any bokeh shots out there?

    Hi all. Been waiting on SonyStyle here to get in a copy of the Distagon (another story) and spent some time researching. Everything looks impressive, but I haven't seen many bokeh shots with it. As I have the 16-35 for general wide shooting, this lens would be more for artistic and lower...

    Voigtlander 50 & 75 on NEX.

    While I can't comment directly to the two lenses in question, I can say every Cosina/Voigtlander I've used has been a delight, and using the 35/1.4 Nokton Classic on the NEX has been - I think - a perfect match. Very compact and also adds a real quality feel to the package as a whole. If you...

    WTT/B: Zeiss 85/1.2 60 years MM

    Hi Roger - thanks. I'm after only the Jahre 85, been a 'dream lens' for me for a while now. The 21 is certainly well regarded however, enjoy it while you have it. Regards, Kelly.

    WTT/B: Zeiss 85/1.2 60 years MM

    Hello all. After some years considering what might be my perfect lenses, it seems this lens is still on the top of my list. fwiw, I require 60 years for MM, to allow a reversible Leitax conversion to M42 (I will use on an A900) I have collected a range of excellent lenses which have lead me...

    WTB: M8, Canon 50/0.95, consider Noctilux offers as well.

    Hi all, a friend and I have decided to jointly venture into M mount. I've shot SLR for years but have always revered the unique look from images captured by the converted Canon 0.95. My friend moreso the Noctilux. For now, we'll tread lightly into this with a used M8 we'll share until...
