I’m talking about the way they behave from their maximum aperture to f5.6. I’m not talking about bokeh and I’m not talking about sharpness. Razor blade sharp focus and the ever present harsh and organic out of focus which is the Zeiss signature.Īll the pictures were taken using f2.0 up to f5.6.One of the things I like the most about lenses is the way they render what’s in focus and what’s out of focus. I also like to use big apertures and the G35mm, like the G45, delivers a beautiful f2.0 widest aperture.Īn f2.0 lens is wide enough, for me, and using it in combination with the tack sharp focus from the Contax G2 one can really see how good this system is. When I compare it to the G45mm is does make a diference. For my style of shooting (if I have one) I like the 35mm angle of view. I mean, there’s a lot of wide angle photographers out there who prefer the G28 or the G21which is fine of course. I’m yet to try out the 21mm and the 16mm. I’ve read a lot about this kit and this is no review, this is just me saying the Zeiss G35mm lens is my favorite lens of this system so far. I own the 28, the 35, 45 and 90mm and since I got the G35 it has never left the camera body. I’ve been using the G2 with the Zeiss G35mm lens a lot and what can I say about this lens… Zenzanon 80mm for the Zenza Bronica SQ AM Zeiss 120mm Makro Planar for the Hasselblad So… here are some samples from various lenses and cameras. It’s not about quality, certainly not about the price, it’s just about the way they do what they do. In the most naive way I do dare to say that some lenses have soul. I do believe that some lenses have charm, a very special signature… do I dare to say… soul? I can’t deny, I like short depth of field and I almost never use a lens above f8 so it is interesting to go through a bunch of lenses to see the differences between them.Ī “softer” lens can render a scene in a way I prefer over the sharpest of lenses.Ī slow lens opening at f3.5 can have more character than a lens that opens at f0.95. One of the things I like the most about lenses is the way they render what’s in focus and what’s out of focus. Some things are already broken beyond repair. They are like little trips to what once was, an escape, but as that house decays, so do I. What once was alive and filled with joy is now just waiting to… vanish. I’m connected to that house in many ways. I remember I hated the bathtub texture for being so harsh and I’ve always loved the kittens painting. I remember how my grand father used to hang his shirts behind the bedroom door, they’re still there.
I visit that house many times and I remember every single object. No one will be moving in and once that window is closed again everything will return to what it always was. The sunlight gets in and the air is renewed however… standing still objects inside the decaying house… don’t get your hopes too high. Sure, once in a while someone opens up a window. This house and the objects in it are like a picture.Įverything is in the same place… standing absolutely still… decaying and getting older.
