| Optics and Lenses - This forum is aimed towards the TECHNICAL side of photographic OPTICS and LENSES. There will be some overlap by camera/manufacturer, but this forum is for the heavy duty tech discussions. This is NOT the place to discuss a specific lens or lens line, do that in the appropriate forum. This is the forum to discuss optics or lenses in general, to learn about the tech behind the lenses and images. IF you have a question about a specific lens, post it in the forum about that type of camera, NOT HERE. |

don't need hoods on the 35 biogons. Literally. Never used one on my F2 and never had flare.

Had a 35/2 ZM biogon and just sold it. After owning an M-hex 90mm f/2.8 I want to try any of the 35's that Konica has made: the 35 UC, 35 M Hex, and the 35 M hex in LTM.
Most likely the UC, however.

That isn't to say that the 35/2 biogon is bad -- in fact I adore it! Great lens. It was, however, my first lens. I owned it for almost 4 years, and I wanted to try something new.

I've had the 35/2 asph cron, V4 cron, and prefer the V3 cron.
For summilux 35s, or overall best 35s, it is a cleaned 35/1.4 pre-asph. No distortion, no focus shift, no harsh bokeh, selectable glow/no glow, no vignetting, multiple hood options, compatible hood with cron of same era (v3 and 12504 hood).
You just can't beat the 35/1.4 pre-asph lux.

Hard to decide. My all time favorite was my first 35mm lens: a Konica Hexanon f2. Here's what it does in B&W (M4-2)
Then, I snagged a nice copy of the Summilux aspherical... and that's one addiction hard to fight...
A poor scan from Ektachrome 1600... (M6TTL)
Steve, is one of your shots from the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art? Looks familiar...

Konica L-Hexanon 35/2.0. The true siamese twin of the Hexar AF lens.
Derived from the W.Nikkor 35/1.8. Mine came without a hood, so I made my own from an empty filter ring and a step up ring, outside paint removed with sand paper.

I am a huge fan of the ZF lenses, but perhaps for a slightly different reason.
While I use a pretty full compliment of Nikon glass on a D3 & D700, those AF lenses are primarily for shooting weddings where every shot has to be in focus ... 14-24, 24-70, 50/1.4AFS, 85/1.4, 100/2.8VR Macro, and the incomparible 200/2VR.
But on my F6 shooting true B&W film, it's the Zeiss lenses all the way. The contrast of the Zeiss optics makes B&W really sing. I outfitted the F6 with a split microprism screen and magnifier which increased the speed and focus hit ratio to almost no missed shots even with street shooting. ZF 18, 25/2.8, 28/2 (amazing!), 50/2 Macro(also amazing!), 85/1.4 (stunning!) and 100/2 macro (mine is buttery smooth) ... I have the VC 180/4 APO for tele work. The F6/Zeiss outfit basically replaced my film Leica M & R.
This combination is one of my favorite 35mm set-ups that I've ever used.

Love the Summicron, but am using a Voigtlander PII f/2.5 these days.

Nokton 35mm f1.2 ... it's big and heavy with a great focusing action ... if there's ever been a more significant 35mm lens released by any manufacturer for such a premium price I'd be surprised!

Current collection:
35mm Elmar (f3.5 - 1936)
35mm Summaron (f3.5 - 1954)
35mm Summicron 1st version (f2 - 1968)
35mm Summicron 5th version asph (f2 - 2003)
Currently using most the Summicron first version, because it is such fine & smooth handling and very nice for b&w with that vintage look. Recent shots:
