i Love C-Sonnar 50/1.5

[Marc G.]

This shot is so crisp....I got a paper cut. Interested to know was this film or digital?? Was this shot wide open ?

flickr says it's M9 with the sonnar 🙂

Thanks for the info....almost anything Zeiss has been putting into the market seems to clearly be shaming the old guard.

Here's the next round of pix from the Sonnar-C 50! (I 'm loving this lens! Files look as good as my '59 Summilux, is half the weight, has a shorter focus throw and less flare!)

Looks like it came optimized for f/1.5 focus, because it's spot-on wide open.
