I have been given another lot of FILM Camera gear including a 1982 CONTAX RTS II Quartz and a Yashica FR1 with various Yashica lenses, flashes, etc etc
Well, I tried the 50mm f1.4 Zeiss Planar at f1.4 and under a x6 Magnifier I cannot see any difference from my earlier 1973 50mm f1.4 SMC Takumar on my Spotmatic F ---

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Hi Peter,

what mount was the Zeiss? Also, what focal distance did you do the tests at? No reason in particular for asking, just interested!

The mountis the Contax/Yashica bayonet -- I did test at full aperture on a bus at 30 feet and a 'candid' at around 10 feet away and a flower stopped down to f8 at 3 feet away which I had already taken with Pentax.
