I sure am glad that I did. Here is what it can do up close (using macro rings): These are growing in a garden of an abandoned house near my place. It was hard to find an angle that avoids all the ...

This is the website: Contax 100-300 Recementing Thanks, will do :-)

I'm sure near you are other wonderful photo spots that I'd be envious of. It's mostly about finding them in your neighborhood and finding the best light to catch them with your camera. I'm not ...

You're absolutely right: always having to set IBIS correctly (which I forget half of the time) really is a pain ... . Like I said. The weight doesn't really bother me. I accept it as the weight of ...

I have the lens for a little more than half a year now. More and more it feels like my arm or leg. I can't imagine going on a photo trip without it :-). You might not like the lens itself: It's ...

That's all very interesting. Where are these tests posted and who did them? On the other hand it's also quite expensive and dangerous to my camera. It's a whole different thing to use a PCX filter ...

I don't mind. I don't use the Gs for moving things or people. I use a manual adapter (K&F) which works fine. If you take your time (which isn't really any longer than with any other manual lens), ...

In my limited experience, below 20mm I think vintage glass is too expensive for what it offers. I rely on my Sony 4/16-35 (so no adapted prime lens here). Also below 28mm I don't really have many ...

I think all things considered: You are making the right choice ;-).

In my tests the 1.4/50 Planar in Contax version proved to be sharper than my ZE. This could be due to sample variation, but I also read about similar findings. While I think the Z lenses are ...

Like Ching-Kuang Shene writes below: A portrait lens typically is longer, if you're going to use it on a Canon R full frame camera. On the other hand a 50mm lens is also a useful portrait lens, if ...

I'm not an expert in portrait photography, but I know a little about the lens. I would say, it really depends on which kind of portraits you want to shoot. I can tell you that the Summicron-R is ...

Back then I was using the original A7. I mention the camera in the second article of that series in which I compared the center sharpness of the lenses. To answer that question: They did not get ...

I have one just like yours except mine has a "Germany" marking. I'm still quite sure that the lens is legit. Who would fake such a lens and leave out one marking? Here is a nice site to get to know ...

I'm always late for the party :-\. Most has been said already, but one thing hasn't come up in my opinion: One quality that separates Zeiss lenses from others is consistency in color and especially ...

Congrats, now you can explore the glow by using the macro focussing feature to enhance glow :-). I don't know much about the Sigma YS System, but I think it makes a lot of sense. You can swap ...

Sigma Telemax 2.8/135 Macro focussing (I also had the Sigma XS 4/200 Macro Focussing) This is a sample:

The best lens I have for the task is the Auto Revuenon 1.2/55. It really is magical wide open. Another one that is very glowy wide open is the Canon FD 1.2/55 SSC. It's almost too much, though. ...

I don't think there is a 25 and a 50 for the ContaFLEX series. I think you got it mixed up with the Contarex - in this case you won't get 3 lenses for 60 bucks ;-\, more like 2000. Also adaption ...

In the first post of this thread is a link to an article I wrote about the whole thing, including some hints to how to make an adapter.
