[rollei_list] Re: 'Old' Zeiss glass question... HFT and T*

This is just my opinion, but I find that Zeiss glass and Leica glass do impart a different "look" to their images. For me, Zeiss and Hexanon glass have good contrast (and color saturation) and smooth bokeh. Both seem like the best glass for portraits. Leica and Voigtlander (Cosina) appear a bit sharper (and that is an appearance call) that serve me better for black and white.

The new Zeiss-Ikon offerings are excellent. You cannot go wrong with either the 35 or 50, so go with your favored focal length.

No need to get into a flame war, but this very interesting line regarding Zeiss has made me ask the question, do people realy prefer Zeiss glass in 35mm over Leica.
If anyone could indicate which 35 and 50 to go for I would love to try in Zeiss 35mm rangefinder stuff.
Thanks for your message,
God bless You.

Hi Peter,
I believe the 15mm Takumar lens for 35mm is the same as the Zeiss,
whether this was a collaboration or not I do not know but I imagine
amortising the design costs of such a very expensive to make lens
would make sense to both, particularly with the low sales volume
inevitable for such an esoteric expensive piece. I believe Leica used
the same design too until quite recently.
