who owns a recent production zeiss ikon here?

I mean 35mm biogon is last lens I like :) don`t know why, somehow does not provide that kind of crispness... anyway I am taking it with me on india trip so I will test it in action :)

Hi folks,

today I have purchased a silver ZI together with the silver 1.5/50 Sonnar and the silver 2.8/28 Biogon. I have for some time thought about buying a M7 but the price was too high. And so I decided to drive 240 km to the next Zeiss dealer to play a little bit with the ZI. And I think it is really a very nice camera. And it has a really bright viewfinder, which is good, when I wear glasses instead of contact lenses. The next steps will be a half case from Luigi and the 85 mm Sonnar. The decision with the wide angle was not easy. With my Nikon FM2 I have used the 35 mm very often. However, the framelines of the viewfinder made me preferring the 28 mm, since I can compare immediately the 28 and the 85 mm lenses. And I have noticed that very often a shot with a wide angle includes also a good shot with a tele.

I would also like to say thank you to the members of this forum - your discussions helped me a lot! And a big thank you to Mike Elek - his ZI Blog is really a help.

who else owns a zi here?

#1... joe

Just got one in - ZI black with 35/2 lens. Arrived 10/11, shot my first roll 10/13 - will drop it off to be developed this weekend (Kodak "HD" C-41). Next is Ektachrome slide film.
 
ZM 25 Biogon devotee here.

Don't own the Z1 nor plan to; I'm saving all my juices for the M8.

The newly announced ZM 18/4 looks interesting.
