When this lens arrive, do let me know if my observations are correct. Enjoy your new toy!

Cheers,
 

Benny will post only when he completes his Canon collection which is very soon:bsmilie:

Still a long, long, long way to go. I realized that it's more troublesome than trying to complete a Leica collection. Not much information and a lot of accessories that are hard to track down.

If benny post lens by lens, this thread is very long.:bsmilie:

Oh please! You have to come with me to go see Gommy's collection. Now that's impressive! Mine chicken peanut chickadee assortment can hardly be called a collection.

Yup! Agree... he got SO many copies of the 50/f1.2... 35/f2.2.... blah blah blah.... :bsmilie:

And ..... don't know how many (lost count) of 50/f1.5.....

If you can get me a 35/2.2, I'm willing to pay you US$15,000 for it. Serious.

if one needs a canon 50/1.5, can forget about getting it from ebay. it is all gone!;)

Rubbish! I just got another this week!

We need one thread called Benny's Canon gear!

And who's fault was it!? Who sent me looking for the 4 black ones? :bsmilie:

Canon Serenar 28mm f/3.5


This is one lens that Benny does not have yet!;)

Nice!! Looks really good from here and thanks for sharing! I don't have this one yet.


It's on the way....:bsmilie:

Are you sure? He's got a few 35mm coming in or in already:cool:

gommy blur. This is a 28mm!!

Benny is trying to make the market run dry of Canon RF lenses.... so far, he is succeeding very very soon.

There are hundreds of thousands of these old Canon LTM lenses! They are so cheap and abundant that market will never run dry!

maybe I can tempt him with mine. :)

You did. I saw your pictures (from Sin Ming) and Goh's night shots. I told myself I have to try this lens!

Cheers,

The ZM85f2 is "not a Sonnar leh" too.
Your master, Roland (ferider), in RFF has this to say: "The new ZM 85/2, even though labeled as Sonnar by Zeiss is a true double-Gauss design":bsmilie::bsmilie:

The ZM85f2 is just a decorative companion to the Nikon 10.5 cm f/2.5 mah! As are the rest of the lenses. After all, this is a Canon/Nikon RF thread.

Actually, we should make this a Japanese RF thread. I want to see the Fujinon, Leotax, Topcor, Olympus, Pentax, etc, etc RF goodies! Who can change it?

Even Roland cannot fault the trademark holders Zeiss for calling it a Sonnar. They are after all, the owners. If they say the ZM18 is a Sonnar, it is a Sonnar. :bsmilie:
