Digital camera Review: Absolutly worth it!!!; Pure quality.
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm an amateur when it comes about photography. However, I've always wanted to take this as more than just a hobby. Therefore, I recently decided to buy a Nikon D90 (body only) and this Zeiss Lens at amazon.
First, let me tell you that as soon as you take this lenses out of the box you can tell by it's weight and look that this are really high quality lenses.
It was very easy to fit them into the camera, and stayed solidly locked there.
After playing around a bit with this lenses, I tell you: You'll be amazed about the performance, the quality of the images and the colors.
Besides, this lenses have a CPU that fits the electronics of the Nikon D90 (ZF1 don't have this), which allows to take advantadge of some automated features of the camera.
I don't know if I can upload pics here to show you. However, an URL where you can see the first pics I took with this Zeiss is as follows:[...]
There you can make an idea of what you'll buy.
Hope to have helped.
Summary of Zeiss Ikon Standard 50mm f/1.4 Planar T* ZF.2 Series Manual Focus Lens for the Nikon F (AI-S) Bayonet SLR System.
The ZEISS ZF.2 with F bayonet for digital SLRs. Thanks to its electronic interface (CPU), these new ZEISS lenses support all-important operations such as the automatic exposure for shutter priority, aperture priority and program modes. The CPU also supports manual exposure settings, including those for camera casings that are not AI-compatible. Since the lens now transmits the EXIF data such as manufacturer, date, metering system and exposure settings, photographers no longer need to set the parameters manually. These quicker and faster handling capabilities of the ZF.2 lenses are especially useful under hectic shooting conditions. ZEISS lenses truly come into their own in situations that demand extreme photographic creativity and maximum image quality. Carl Zeiss' fixed focal length lenses are known for their high light sensitivity and precise manual handling, leaving the photographer in full control. The new ZF.2 series will be especially interesting for photo enthusiasts who value creative, high-quality images combined with the comfort of automatic settings.Cameras and Photo
