Crazy about the Biogon 25/2.8 Pic thread

[benji77]

How can we not have a thread about the Zeiss Biogon 25/2.8 ZM thread 🙂?

I admit I have been neglecting my copy after I got used to the 35mm framelines of my M, but the 25mm always has something special when you hit the sweet shots.

So here we go and feel free to add yours!

I love Fuji films; 400H might be my favorite of all time. Beautiful

I only just started using this lens, but I'm in love already...

George,

what film did you use for the bricks and shadows picture. Are you developing yourself?

Excellent Image.

Regards,

Akitadog

Thanks. The film was Adox CHS 25 (rebranded Efke 25), and I developed it in a Caffenol-C variant. I could look up the details if you're interested.

Yes, I am interested. Looking at trying my own b/w developing at some point in time. PM me the details or post here.

I'll be joining this thread as a regular participant soon, I'm trading my Voigtlander 25/4 towards a 25/2.8 Biogon in the next week or so - looking forward to it! I'm looking to shoot 25/35/50 as my "regular" focal lengths, with the 35 Biogon the next on my list to join my Planar.

I love this shot.

What drew me to the 25mm focal length, on full frame, was that I found 21mm too wide for anything other than architecture and landscape and 28mm too close to 35mm to work for me, but 25mm is nice and wide for a range of applications, yet can still take really nice environmental portraits without appearing excessively distorting. This is a great example. Lovely.

Awesome - I've gone for a basic 2 lens setup with my M9, the 50/2 planar and the 25/2.8 Biogon. The Zeiss 25mm finder stays on the top all the time and my other lenses are now "in addition" to these 2. I really like the focal lengths and qualities
