salim Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 This is an interesting lens for me, since I really like 28mm focal length. https://nikonrumors.com/2017/10/16/zeiss-to-announce-a-new-milvus-1-425-zf-2-lens.aspx/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have tried or owned most of Context C/Y lenses. My favorite lens is actually the 28/2.8. I wish they would bring this back. It's so small, light and sharp in the center. I hear you about the hollywood 28, the rending of that is beautiful. But I'm thinking 25/1.4 will probably render if nicer. I'm still deciding to keep or let go of my 85/1.4 (Made in Germany). It also renders beautifully wide open. But I'm not sure if it's the lens I'll be suing a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noone Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 $2400 USD means it will be over $3000 here in Australia. Looks very nice but too rich for my blood and I will stick to my old FD 24 L when I need a MF 24 1.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salim Posted October 19, 2017 Author Share Posted October 19, 2017 If I decide to go Sony A7 (or whatever sony might announce in a week or two) Then I probably go with Zeiss Batis 25/2. However, Lloyd Chambers who is a bit of Zeiss expert seem to already praising the performance of this lens from his early impressions calling it the best 24/25 lens he has worked with, https://diglloyd.com/blog/2017/20171018_1931-ZeissMilvus25f1_4-FirstLook.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
