guillermo cameo Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Hello, I am in process of choosing glass for a project and I need to find a zoom lens that matches (or at least gets close to) Zeiss SS mk3 lenses. I was considering the old Ang 25-250. Does anybody have some tips on this? Ideally I will go to a rental house to test some lenses, however I would like to go with a better idea. Thanks!

Premium Member David Mullen ASC Posted July 9, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted July 9, 2020 Zeiss Super-Speeds are pretty sharp and contrasty -- I paired them with an Ang. Optimo zoom when I shot "The Love Witch". A modern Fujinon zoom might be good too. Older zooms are going to be softer unless stopped down, and probably less contrasty but you can match that in color-correction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Figler Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I've always found this a good reference for sharpness + contrast with super speeds...wide open or looking into extremely contrasty situations you might consider them to have a very vintage look, but I tend to be surprised by how they well they can sharpen up.
