Hi bros,

I am thinking of getting the ZF 85mm f/1.4 in Shanghai (am working here now).

Just wondering if anyone could advise what the price is in SG so that i could compare?

Thx in advance!

abt SG$1500. how much is it in Shanghai?

I was quoted RMB 6600 for a set with warranty and RMB 6200 for a grey set

works out to be about SGD 1282 and SGD 1204 respectively....

Seems to be agood deal for the warrantied set...

100/2, 35/2 & 50/2 are known to be extremely good.

if u r using 1.5x camera, u can consider 28/2 but i think it is better in nearer focus distance rather than infinity.

 

[digitalxd1]

some example from ZF 25/2.8 on NIkon D50

[Parchiao]

Yummy! 28/2 it shall be.

Me no regrets. :bsmilie:

 

[photobum]

All Carl Zeiss ZF lenses are wonderful. Nikon's own lenses cannot match them all.

Absolutely no regrets for me even if I have to eat instant noodle for lunch everyday for a year.

Er, the statement very dangerous. :sweat:

Which statement?

Carl Zeiss being better than Nikon, or the instant noodle lunch spree?

Haha... it is an undeniable fact. That's why we are here to praise their lenses.

By the way, I didn't give up Nikon lenses totally. I still keep a few good ones.
