canon f0.75 . “zeiss thought about making 85mm f1.2 lens but it was too big…” bravo Zeiss. We need more stupid decisions from you.
I’m loving these recent posts about fast prime lenses!
Keep it up! I’d love to see the day that I can shoot with an f0.75 or f0.85 or f0.95 or f1.0 or f1.1 or f1.2 lens with reliable, direct drive SSM autofocus!
Photographers seeking speed don’t care about the weight. Bring it on!
Living in Canada have its drawback, I can’t access to some ebay items and the Canon 0,75 for a unknow reason is one of them.
I had that same problem. But I probably wouldn’t have bought it at the asking price anyways! Would have been neat to check out the auction though!
Sony, not Zeiss.
just curious: how do you adapt such a lens? In a decent way that is, with “in real life working” focus? If this is a decent lens, price asking is not terrible if it can be adaptet to practilal use. Not for me though …
Zeiss have made a shitload of teriffic desicions for Emount lately, sony though, are more unreliable in their jugdement… However, a FE lens being to big for launching at this moment is understandable, the prime selling point is “quality in a small package”. The lineup Zeiss is drawing up is no less than impressive, and I’m all in. But then, you do have to accept that quality comes to a price… Not for everyone, I do understand. Our so much hated Sony have launched a brilliant 28mm with adapters to go, for those who want decent quality for acceptable pricing, so: Run to the shops …
No aperture. Useless for any practical purpose except bragging about it. No wonder it is in mint condition.
The lenses, made by several companies, are designed for X-Ray machines and are not optimized for visible light. From looking at some of the web examples they focus differently for each color, so unless using a color filter the image will be very fuzzy. Cutting most of the light with a filter eliminates a lot of the advantages of f/.75. Most of the examples were with the lenses stuck on M-mount cameras, might be able to do a little better with E-mount in terms of focus distances, especially if you could fit it on a focusing mount. In the examples I saw it was fixed at 2 meters focus distance and fixed aperture. Good for playing with and artistic look, but not a lens for club shoots.
canon xi f0.75 is not rare at all, show up on ebay every once a while, and sometimes very cheap deal, it was not designed for general photography, very soft, no aperture, and can only focus very close distance..
