yeh, the 50 1.2 is special. I like to give myself a nice shock everytime I look at the rear element !

FM3A. 50mm f1.2.
 

Carl Zeiss Makro-Planar T* 2/50
Carl Zeiss Planar T* 1,4/50

Just added to my consider list of 50mm. Now I am confuse. White hair start to appear...

Since it's a macro lens, the aperture will not be constant when focusing?

More white hair for you..

that ultron's cute to have, sharp to use, very sharp at all apertures.. hehe. but what i didnt like was i had to use a close-up filter they supplied, screw it on, just to get closer, i.e. 25cm etc.. without it, min focus's probably abt 40cm++..

which is why i prefer the 35F2 still. and 35F2 has a softer circular bokeh characteristic, than the circular harder stronger outlined bokeh of the 40f2. but when closer i.e. 25-50 cm range from subject.. i.e. a plate of food etc.. they're pretty similar with the ultron sharper (with close up filter)
 

You give up planar f1.4 because of CA or Fstop...
CA doesnt bother me at all. those who complain abt CA most of the time are those who shoot at extremely wide apertures in bright light..
not abt F-stop either

gave up cuz of bokeh preference. diff people diff taste and preference.

I have never use a Carl Zeiss Len before. But I have heard story like these lens can give you a creamy look pic and not so hard sharp and flat pic. Was it the case ?

I am using one. Good contrast and colour. Bokeh creamy.

What are the disadvantage if you screw on the close up filter permanently?

I understand 50 1.2 won't meter with D70.

you cannot focus to infinity. the furthest you can focus is probably under 1 metre with the close up filter on.

the close up filter goes onto the hood, not onto the lens as well.. so... have to screw on and off.. on and off... -_-~

Depends on the power of the closeup filter..

+1 - 1m
+2 - 0.5m
+3 - 0.33m
+4 - 0.25m

Distances are measured from the filter.
 

You need to place an order with CP and wait for 2 weeks.
Or
Get it from fellow CSer CAMERA23

hey, i called CP and the lady was very abrupt. said none was available and hung up before I could even make further enquiries. sux when a dealer becomes arrogant...and only cos they CAN.

am taking my business elsewhere where the people are more polite.
