Just got the C-Biogon 35mm f2.8

[akitadog]

Mine is on the way. Should have it soon. Just in time for a camping trip this weekend.
Recently bought the 50 f1.5 c-sonnar. Nice little lens. May take a bit of getting used to at 1.4, with the focus shift. Excellent colour, contrast etc. I actually prefer the look of the zeiss lense over the leica summilux.

I'm looking forward to using the 35 as that is my preferred focal length.

Regards,

akitadog

Helen, have you finally settled on the c-biogon or is it just a flirt?

Ha... Here to stay !!
What I LOVE about Zeiss glass is its 'Cinematic' quality in its rendering
And the way it's 'Catches' movement...a 3d pop with a Lovely 'Glow'

Seems to me that you have the perfect set-up these days.

Great to hear that, Helen! Which makes me even more curious about your color shots.

Cheers,

ZEISS Glass can be so Wonderfully Cinematic in its 'POP' and Electric/Eclectic 3d Feel

Helen: it is appearing that your raving about a lens usually means it is going to be in the classifieds soon. I remember you going on about your Zeiss Planar, then selling it. Now you are saying your 35mm Biogon is "here to stay" and it shows up in the classifieds.

Have you been hanging around Joe?

Ha ha, Yes Joe & I Suffer from the same Illness
Glass is just so Sublime :angel:

Actually a Confession: I had 2 planars , and Yes You are Correct I sold one but kept the other (don't ask ... )
At present I have in 50's : 50 Planar, 50 cron VerV....My 35 C Biogon, 21SA

we are kindred spirits, helen and i...but i don't think she uses a camera bag...

Hmmm, are You suggesting camera Bags...lol
Really never thought about it

Ha, Kindred Spirits Indeed !

Lovely shots, Helen...why are you selling it??

i love that guys shirt!

I keep hearing how flare resistant this lens is. So no hood is required? I am very tempted by this lens for price point, image quality and compactness.

I just got mine yesterday (thanks Helen!) and can't wait to see the results with HP5+...

I decided to buy the C Biogon 2.8/35 second hand for my R3A and don't regret it.

I was undecided on the right 35mm for my M2. I started with the CV 35/2.5, but we didn't gel. Oh man am I happy I changed my mind. I love the Biogon-C.
