To ease my mind off from the recent Biotar deal, I took Planar to the street, and was able to capture this guy...
I thought it was bit funny....



Please feel to comment and also share some of your Planar 100/2.0 pictures.

This was at the very busy corner of 34 street and Broadway.
If you mean "B&H", it's on 9th Avenue... Laughing

superb colors, superb pic (you catch Jesus!)
the planar 100 is the best
best mtf from wide open, no CA
I didn't find any at low price but if I had such lens I would not need other portrait lens

I have a beauty Zeiss Contax 4/18mm MMJ to trade for Z 3.5/18 Cool I can not use it on my 5D even with mirror shaving. The rear post on the lens would have to be shaved it hits the mirror box on my copy of the camera. I don't want to shave my lens it is mint. It seems my copy of the 5D (latest) is the worst one for Contax lenses. I can not use my 2.8/180 or 2.8/60 either. Mad At least I can put them on the 40D or with a film camera.

How about a thought on trading for my Contax 35-70/3.5
I'dlove to have OM 18/3.5... Embarassed

I did think about I will not trade to Carl Zeiss too, sorry Andy. I suppose this lens has good place at my home.

No prob Attila that is a good choice. Offer is open for future reference with compensation if needed. Both are fine lenses. I have had a similar experience to Orio with my Contax 4/18. This is the 3rd copy. The other two where not really up to the Contax standard. This one is from the latest production run and is beautiful. It is great on the 40D and on full frame film. Perfect Zeiss colors, sharpness, and contrast/3D. My only problem is this 5D issue. At the moment I think it is best for me to look at a different full frame. Mine is so low of actuations and near perfect it is a shame. But with the mirror box issue with my most coveted lenses I need to look past that for a solution. Rolling Eyes

I hope you will get finally from me an excellent copy of Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 20mm f2.8 MC and you will not looking others any more. Sound is very good what your said from your 18mm I think again Wink

I really love the 100/2.0 myself. It is easily my favorite lens.



This pano was made out of several shots taken with the 100/2.0

I never get tired of seeing those James. Really fine captures from a legend lens.
