Can also lah although the 28 is missing.
Would love to try the 50 makro and 85.... ;p

If you need 28mm, willing to let you try. :)
But need to set a date, I see my schedule can make it.

just curious... is that 2 and a half lens flare on the left starting from the corridor down to the grass?
 

Hi ZF users, I am considering some ZF lenses to go with my D3. Would apprc some advice/tips. I am thinking of the Distagon 2.8/25 and the Planar 1.4/50 and the Makro-Planar 2/100. Would this be a good 'system' to put together? I thought the Distagon 2.8/25 would be a good travel companion for landscape, scenery, people (candid shots). The Planar 1.4/50 would be for most general purpose shooting. Then the Makro-Planar 2/100 for portraits and the ocassional macro. Would this combination make sense, since carrying these 3 lenses on a trip is quite manageable still.

Where is a good shop to get them? What are the prices like now?

Thanks in advance for any constructive advice/comments.

considering u r using FX, I would suggest:

25, 50 Makro & 85...

I had tried all 3 lenses on D3 before and the effect is power! :thumbsup:

25 for landscape/scenary. 50 for portrait and macro. 85 for portraits as well.

As for shops, I bought my CZ from J316 at Funan. They are not the cheapest but provide good & friendly customer service. :)
 

I am new to ZF lenses. Just wondering if you guys put a UV filter on each lens to protect the front element? Which brand/model of filter?
Thanks.

Thanks coolsigg for your suggestions. I am pretty much sold on the Distagon 2.8/25. Just thought I'd get the Planar 1.4/50 for general photography and also to handle the low-light situations. Reason I am considering the Makro-Planar 2/100 is greater shooting distance when shooting macro, tighter portraits, and also a longer tele than the 85. I am trying to limit to max 3 lenses when travelling. Any inputs from others?

no worries bro...yes, there is a 1 stop diff between the 50F1.4 and 50 Makro. But 50F1.4 is soft and has quite serious CA wide open, especially on FX sensors, hence, you might not use it that often. Whereas 50 Makro is consistent throughout the aperture range. I have both lenses and I dont use the 50F1.4 anymore since I got the 50Makro. There is a reason why the 50Makro cost almost double that of 50F1.4. ;)

100 Makro is a good buy but pricey. Therefore, if u have the budget, 25, 50Makro & 100 Makro would be the ultimate 3 lens setup! :devil:
