Pablo Cruz Villalba Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Hello, I own a set of Zeiss ZF which i use for cinematography. I love the microcontrast / image fidelity / background separation / 3d pop effect... as you want to name it. I infer that lenses with less than 7-9 eelements will enhance the effect. However some Zeiss wide angles have more elements and a phenomenal pop like the Distagon 25mm f2. This is my favorite feature of lenses. I privilege microcontrast way more than sharpness or corrected aberrations. I haven't tried voigtlander lenses but I know they have similar rendering. Do you know other lenses —excluding the super expensive ones— that have high microcontrast? I would like to buy more lenses like this. Here I attach two photos shot with the Distagon 25mm f2 ZF.2 to illustrate what I'm talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas POISSON Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I guess many modern still lenses would fall in that category. It is common now to have them super sharp, with great resistance to flare and high micro-contrast. Are you searching lenses for still photography ?
