With the recent 'focus' regarding the adaptor for the Contax G Lens I thought I would take a walk down to one of the local gardens and take the 45/2 and 90/2.8 out for another spin . . . . .
Pink Flowers
GF1 with Carl Zeiss Planar 45mm F/2 -- ISO 100 -- f/2 -- 1/400 -- 45mm
Red Poppy
Gf1 with Carl Zeiss Sonnar 90mm f/2.8 -- ISO 100 -- f/2.8 -- 1/250 -- 90mm
The 45/2 worked well using the two finger focus method while the 90/2.8 had a few times where I could not quite capture focus. So I would walk away, extend the lens out and back then reframe and capture the shot. The lenses were easy to place into and remove from the adaptor.
I really like the Zeiss lenses and they work well with the adaptor with some limitations.
Robert, I am sending along some good Karma with the hope that a slight modification in the future will make the adaptor perfect!
Life is Grand!
