In search of 35mm short ends
Pablo Cruz Villalba replied to Dustin Alligood's topic in Film Stocks & Processing
Are you interested in vision 200t 5274 and vision 500t 5279? I've got short ends. -
I've had the issue with quarz ds8 soviet cameras. I sent them to my trusted tech. He told me he just cleaned it very well inside and now they are working perfectly. Soviet made are very sturdy and, according to him easy to repair.

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.
