zeiss vs zeiss vs zeiss- which is sharper?

[Chico]

The Zeiss 50mm M or the Zeiss 50mm F; and how do they compare with the Zeiss 45mm G? 😎

Frankly, Gee, they are all good. Get all three.

I think they are all pretty dull, the last time I cut my fingers was with an Opinel #8

Was it Carl Zeiss or Karl Zeiss? Gosh I keep mixing those letters up.

Norman Goldberg (Don's dad) former tech guru of Popular Photography had a standard answer for these questions: "Always buy the plaid one".

"Always buy the plaid one".

Also sounds like what Canadian hockey colour commentator, Don Cherry, would say. (He's infamous for his loud, plaid jackets flashy ties, and high-collar shirts.)

I have another plaid story. Cecil Stoughton was once a White House photographer--lots of great stuff of the Kennedys. He always wore a bright red plaid jacket. At
Nixon's inauguration Cecil's plaid jacket stood out like a supernova. Nixon was so
incensed he fired Stoughton. Cecil retired to my neck of the woods and I got to know him several years ago. He showed me a picture Caroline Kennedy took of him when
she was only about four years old, using his Hasselblad Wide (38mm Biogon). A
very likable, down to earth gentleman--no trace of ego, and what stories he has to
tell!

Don Cherry has a touch of ego. 🙂

The Zeiss 50mm ZF is sharpest at f/1.4.
The Zeiss 45mm G is sharpest with autofocus.
The Zeiss 50mm ZM is sharpest overall. 😉

I wonder if Sam Boland would agree with your assessment????

 

[Mike Kovacs]

So how does the Zeiss stuff compare with the Yashica Electro Fr...I mean Chico?

Now all we need is a universe big enough for it to play in.
