M8 with Zeiss Planar 45mm/2

[raid]

There were taken at slow exposure times and hand held.
The lens is sharp.

I like this lens a lot with the M8 and the M9.

I love the way it renders on the M9. I am currently using mine on the Sony A7 with an AF adapter, and it is at least as sharp as the latest 50mm Summicron pre-asph, if not even more.

Hi Ed,

Zeiss lenses can be awesome indeed. The 45/2 is simply a very special lens.

thanks for sharing the pics 🙂 Your Converted Black 45/2 lens looks very handsome indeed.

One question, is the $750 just for the conversion?

thx

I paid this amount here at RFF for the converted lens. It was a good deal.

I used the M9 with this lens today in dark rooms within the well known Seville Quarter in Pensacola. No PS was used at all. I opened the files in LR5, and then just saved them as jpg. The 45/2 did very well and so did the marvelous M9.

I went to Seville Quarter at 2:30PM when there were hardly any customers there. I set the M0 to Auto exposure and the 45/2 to f 2.0.

This old piano in the corridor looked cool.

No flash was used, even if it looks this way here.
This old cash register was inside one of the rooms.
