First shot with CZ T*50/2



Crop

So my first Carl Zeiss (T* 2/50 Makro-Planar) lens has arrived. Before I have even mounted it on a camera and taken a shot I know that i'm in trouble, serious trouble. These things are just beautifully built. Damping on the focusing ring feels luxurious. The hood clicks into place with a tactile and audible click. Not overly heavy but has that hewn from solid feel that smacks of quality. Little things but they all add up to an overwhelmingly favorable first impression and make me want more!

Arrived safe and sound!
Tis all Mine!

Nicely done Robin!
Review from a user perspective than a set of charts is always refreshing. Great shots (examples) as well.

Hmm, liking that lots

Very nice
Have a 90mm Vivitar f/2.5 (Komine) getting serviced at the moment, that is my current '135'
I often wonder about the DA*50-135, seems to be one of those lenses that owners rave about and rarely let go.

Yeah, Yeah..
What would you put in there?
A*135? Voigtlander Macro APO-Lanthar 125mm f2.5 Perhaps?
Or maybe a K135 f/2.5, heavy but nice.
