Very Sharp Carl Zeiss lens for reasonable price
Good Zeiss lens for reasonable price, bought to use it on a Full Frame Canon camera.
My impressions, pluses and minuses:
+ colors;
+ picture;
+ price;
+ excellent sharpness;
+ perfect sharpness on frame sides and in corners, really one of the best;
- manual focus;
- to use on Canon cameras requires adapter C/Y - Canon EOS;
- if you use C/Y lenses on Canon, often it requires manual exposition compensation depending on aperture;
- you can get a vignette on open aperture, especially if you use a lens filter.
Summary:
Good and non expensive 50mm Carl Zeiss lens.
Excellent for landscapes: sharp on frame sides and in corners, also perfect sharpness when focus is near infinity.
Of course very good for full-length portraits (Full Frame cameras) or half-length portraits (APS-C cameras).
And again: colors are incredible!
P.S. I recommend to use with a lens hood, otherwise in some conditions (side or face light) you can loose contrast.
