hi chong,

carl zeiss lens is top lens, must be expensive at that time, even now... hahaha

i read from other forum saying that manual focus lenses are much sharper than zoom lenses... pls post some photos taken by this lens... hahaha

Re: Hi All, new member reporting · by chongwk Wed Jul 29, 2009 1:24 pm

derrick, most manual focus lens in the old days are sharper than zoom lens because there are prime lens. This is also one of the reasons why nowadays some people like to use manual focus lens because they are prime lens

I bought the lens last year at RM650... now it's worth RM250 because aperture spoilt, stuck at F3.5, but still can shoot sharp photos at F3.5
