I really love Superia 100. It’s sad it is discontinued. But my freezer still has some inventory of 70 rolls or so… 😊Lovely colors!
I have the ZE version (same lens but in Canon EOS mount). An excellent lens! I used in initially adapted to Sony (Sigma MC-11 adapter) and more recently to Leica SL (Urth AF adapter). Of course my variant, being in Canon mount requires an electronic adapter like these because it is necessary to control the aperture through the camera. I know the later tranche (the V2 models) of the ZF lenses also come equipped with electronic controls but unlike mine also has a manual aperture control ring.Testing out the Zeiss 100mm f/2 Makro-Planar ZF.2 on the Lumix S5. These could probably be a little bit sharper but the focus peaking was showing the subjects' faces (specifically the eyes) in focus, whereas the true focus point ended up being about 2-3 inches closer, near their right forearms. It was also incredibly dark in the room, so ISO was cranked up and I wasn't able to use a fast enough shutter speed for the lens. I suspect it will perform much better outdoors or other situations with better lighting.
