Carl Zeiss to announce new 35mm f/1.4 lens on Septtember 1
"David J. Littleboy" wrote in message
... [] Sheesh. You have absolutely no sense of humor. You always sound so serious, David, sorry! But really. What the hell are you doing in this thread at all? You're comments are irrelevant to the topic here. David, Hardly irrelevant to Nikon DX users - they already have a Nikon auto-focus 35mm f/1.8 lens available, at a reasonable cost (US ~$200), so they need not waste their money on this Zeiss manual focus lens. Cheers, David |

Except that landscape shooters stop the lens down, so all that money for the extra stop(s) of lens speed just got flushed down the toilet, plus the problem of flare with fast lenses. I'm absolutely certain that the best landscape lenses would probably be high quality but simple wide primes or limited range zooms with a maximum aperture of f4 or even less. They don't get made because the perception would be that they're too cheap, unfortunately because quality perception has been based around lens aperture. The El-Nikkor 80mm f/5.6 is cheap, slow, and spectacular for closeups at f/8 on a bellows. I was just doing some 1:1 shots with it yesterday (12MP stack of 35 frames): http://www.flickr.com/photos/edgehil...65302/sizes/o/ bokeh in lower right (the rest if partly faked; photo beyond): http://www.flickr.com/photos/edgehil...64221/sizes/l/ Tricky to get it to work at infinity. http://homepage2.nifty.com/akiyanroo...tion/blue.html |

Um, I'll take that as a compliment, I guess :-) here's some watercolors though: http://www.flickr.com/photos/edgehill/4973788125/ |

Um, I'll take that as a compliment, I guess :-) It was intended as such. I don't beleive every shot has to be ultra-sharp, with vibrant colors. Many of your shots that I've seen have a soft quality, which is too often underappreciated. here's some watercolors though: http://www.flickr.com/photos/edgehill/4973788125/ -- Peter |
