Back in August I sold one of my lenses to fund a new one and last week it finally arrived: the Zeiss 35mm F1.4 Distagon. The lens is quite special. Not bitingly sharp wide open and also not very contrasty. But from F2.8 onwards, this changes drastically. As such this lens has the attributes of a portrait lens (lower contrast at wide apertures is good for people’s faces) ánd a landscape lens at smaller apertures.
Included in this post are some samples.The first one is taken at a lake in Kessel-Lo, the others are from a short stay in Rixensart this weekend.
