@@Stahlengelmusic as much as I love lieca image. Personally I like the zeiss better. The zeiss has better build quality and is coated which I’m pretty sure the lieca isn’t.
thats a difficult one...for video i would say: - my hellios 44-2 58 mm lenses for there character . -the underrated canon 24-105 mm f3.5-f5.6 IS AF ,so cheap and freaking versatile and sharp as knife ---> i use it for astrophotography as well ,due to the sharpness grtzz from the netherlands johny geerts
My absolute favorite lens of all time, and I own A LOT of lenses. Out of all my Canon L lenses, I would still go to this one every time. Image is organic, and very detailed but not clinically sharp. The colors are amazing. It isn't that it is very saturated, it is the micro contrast that is absolutely superior. It is able to resolve very fine differences in hue and saturation, the image is so "alive", I can feel the skin tones like with no other lens. I have another really interesting lens with amazing details and an organic look, the Mamiya Apo Sekor 350mm, a monster of a lens with an incredible capacity to resolve details and colors, but Zeiss is just superb. One piece of advice, if you shoot on a Canon camera, try to find a Leitax adapter, it keeps the lens firmly aligned to the mount.
My favorite lens of all time is the Leica R 28mm f2.8 version 2. This is a 1990’s Leica R, and I find it to be the perfect balance between vintage and modern. It has this green goodness to it, where other vintage glass is too magenta. If you ever get the chance to try the Leica R go for it. There is something very special about the Leica’s skin tones and roll off. I like the 28mm version 2 so much that I wish to get it rehoused as a cinema lens one day, that’s the dream
This lens is great for landscape. I also have the 50mm f1.7 and that is a good lens as well but there is something magical about the colours from the 28mm that works very well for landscapes. Greens and blues come through very vibrant.
Awesome ! I'm just following your path, i recently got FD lenses. I only understand now why it may be great to shoot with manual focus only. When you got a lens that provides emotions, the shooting experience is just as important than the footage you get.
@@ppulkkinen5308 That is one big hassle. Using Canon FDs on Canon EF mount is not as straight forward. The easiest is to modify your FD lenses and then it's super smooth.
I have a 28mm 2.8 Pentax that was my great grandfathers, I love it! I used it almost entirely on a doc I'm working on about tribal issues and boat building, cheers!
I love a good 28mm on s35. Like you, i find it probably the most versatile focal length for that sensor size. My go-to is currently a SLR Magic 32mm APO Microprime. Stunning images with that thing.
I actually like the 28mm 2.8 more than the f2.0! While the 2.0 is closer to a super speed in design I felt the 2.8 had a better 3D depth rendering. Things feel alive layered while the 2.0 felt like more compressed almost more like they do on a telephoto. But to each their own!
just was able to grrab this from a thrift store in GREAT condition for ... $20 lol. i knew once I saw carl zeiss on the lens I knew I had a gem. this video confirmed so. i was thinking about flipping but I may keep it to use. thanks!!
Contax 25mm 2.8 AE is my favourite at the moment. I use it full frame or cropped on my Panasonic S5. I also have the 50mm 1.4, 85mm 1.4 and 200mm 3.5 all are AE lenses so they have the ninja star iris but I’ve not found it to be an issue yet. Great review!
My favorite lens is the Contax-Zeiss 21mm f/2.8. I love the wide angle you can get from it, but it has a close focus of 22 centimeters so you can get really nice, tight closeups as well. I shot a short film earlier this year and used the 21mm for all but a couple insert shots where I used the 85mm f/1.5. The 28mm f/2.8 is gorgeous as well; it’s not as wide as the 21, but it allows for a shallower depth of field and more bokeh. Contax-Zeiss lenses are just lovely.
@@OfTwoLands Yes, and it’s really good, too. Sorry, I just updated my comment to include the 28mm but you’re super quick on the reply. 😁 The 28 is great for when you need a wider field of view but also want a shallower depth of field than what the 21 allows you to play with.
I got into building a set vintage lenses and my favourite one is the Canon FD 50mm 1.4, im thinking of getting this lens as well bc i wanted more of focus throw than my FD 28mm, also because the build of that Zeiss and the look that it gives, hope i can snag one for a good price🤞🏽
Hi there, great video. where did you get the focus cine rings for your set? got a 28 like you and fell in love with the feel/look, so now I have a 35! :D which one next is the question lol
Thanks!! I got them on ebay super cheap from Europe but I cannot remember which store. They made them based on your lenses. Haha next would be either super wide or tight :)
@@OfTwoLands since I use a full frame camera (z cam F6) I use the 35 the most it’s super versatile :) I was considering the Leica R as well but the look of the Zeiss is very special :)
A 28mm on Super 35 is around 42mm equivalent on full frame? So this can act as a 28/42mm dual lens on a full frame camera with Super 35 crop mode. Intriguing.
Hi, one question about the adapter: since it has a focus confirmation chip, do the focus peaking functions of the BM camera work with this lens? Thanks for a quick info 🙏
I haven't actually used the R6 yet but based on how much I love the footage from my Eos R and from what I've heard and seen online it seems like a solid option. I am also considering it myself :)
Hey Flo, what do you think of the 28mm for interviews, talking heads? I have a shoot with a teleprompter but wondering if too much will be in the frame due to the wide angle nature, and will it need to be too close to the talent?
I think I said it before on this channel :)) but I really like a 28mm lens. It is on a super 35 sensor, but still nice! I would really like a set like this. That would be great! I have a few M42 lenses that I really enjoy using. I need to find a better adapter for the mount because mine has a small movement when using a follow focus and because the focus ring is so stiff (but good for fine focus) and it moves the whole image :))
Hey Flo! Thanks for your video! Just got myself a 28 2.8 and a 50 1.4 and I‘m thinking about getting myself the 18mm. Does it fit on the bmpcc6k pro? Kinda curious because of the internal nds. Which adapter are you using on your 18mm? :)
Hey, thanks for watching !! I love my 18mm, mine is actually modded so it has an EF mount. This is the only one in my kit that is modded. For the rest I use the Fotodiox adapters :).
Hey Florent, I only just came across this lens, I didn’t know you liked it so much. In Canada this is over half the price of an SLR Magic APO Prime but was curious if you think the extra would be worth it or would the Contax be a good option for now. Just curious on your thoughts? Also are you finding f2.8 enough for exposure or do you miss being able to open up to F2?
Trying so hard NOT to buy the lens after watching this haha. Currently my favorite lens on my 6kPro is the Sigma 18-35, great for indoors and low light. And I have a Canon 24-105 F4 with IS, comes in very handy for handheld outdoor shoots.
Haha I take that as a compliment :) !! I love the sigma too, the most useful lens in my opinion. And I also love the 24-105 as well, it is my go to for stills and B Cam footage.
Have you used this lens on the BMPCC 4K or similar micro four thirds camera? (without a speed booster) If so, how does the image quality stack up? Is the 28mm f2.8 still good on a micro four thirds sensor?
Hi, I have a GH5, eyeing the BMPCCK though, probably the 4K. I do have a couple of FD lenses, and I was wondering if you think the Contax Zeiss are "better" than Rokinon cine lenses? I'd say the price are more or less the same. What do you think?
Hey Flo, I recently got the 28mm for my bmpcc6k. The only issue is that i can't focus to infinity, is that an issue with your lens as well? If so do you have any tips on how to fix that?
I’m building my own set as well and it was nice to see your video. I got the 50 1.4, 85 1.4 and would love to get the 35 as well but it’s quite more expensive! So maybe I should get the 28 instead.. quick question, did you notice that with the 6kpro when you use an adapter the camera make a little screaming noise? It’s a bit annoying especially is you’d like to pick up sound at the same time with the camera. Just wonder if you have the same issue or if it’s my adapter that that camera doesn’t like..
Thanks for watching !! Personally I find a 28mm more versatile than a 35mm. You mean an actual sound whilst recording or you mean when you attach the adapter/lens to the body ? I haven't noticed anything so far.
@@OfTwoLands when the camera is turned on, there’s a little noise like Bip Bip biiiiip that’s keep on going. You would have noticed it if it’s happening to you I’m sure. You’re right, maybe I should go for the 28 instead. Since I have a 50 and 85 I maybe don’t need 35 and eventually I could get the 15 for fun as well..
@@thomaszamolo how do you find the 50 on the 6k pro? I have the camera and have just ordered the 50 f1.4 also, hoping to use it on a very aesthetic almost dreamy client film. Hoping it's not too tight to be usable
@@adamdrakestudio it is rather tight but beautiful. If you worry about not maybe the 35mm is a more flexible option. Or you have the Helios if you’re looking for an even more characteristic effect.
So prior to getting my Zcam my EF l series primes were my favorites. especially the 50 1.2. I am really struggling to think of what to get for my Zcam and have looked at Contax/ Zeiss though I am also looking at samyang and Canon FD I like a fair amount of character and flair old 70s films. I have the Helios 44 -f2 (58mm) which I do love and a Jena 135 f3.5 which I havent tested as much. Though I want to get a more consistent set.
I have both the Contax and FD and use them for different projects. Definitely more of a look with the FD but lesser built quality and not as nice to manual focus in my opinion. I am so tempted by the Helios too :)
@@OfTwoLands smoother focus would certainly be nice, I'll probably go down the route of modding them a fair amount but not re housing or anything. The Helios is really nice though I can't get my 8mm pitch to fit on it as the focus wheel is bevelled I think there are some 3D printed ones you can by. I also think the throw is a little long. And you certainly have to have a good look around as the first one I got was so hazy you couldn't see anything. I do have some yashica C/Y lenses which I may adapt to EF though they're relatively cheap lenses and don't expect a terrible amount out of them.
Getting a 28mm today after trying one last week on my buddy's camera. I need to adapt for GH5 though so I won't shoot in 28mm ;) do you put a UV filter to protect the glass?
@@OfTwoLands I slammed my tokina 11-16mm on a table by accident. Luckily the uv filter took the hit... 😉 Have you tried the Mamiya sekor c m645 by the way?
Hi Flo hope you’re doing well I just wanna ask if what size of gear ring you have in your zeiss 28 mm because I got the same one and been wanting to get a gear ring as well 😊
MM is the Multi Mode version, as opposed to the AE ones :). When you start researching seem to be slightly better than the AE ones and don’t feature the ninja star bokeh.

@@OfTwoLands great point!
Wow... it's look like there's almost no chromatic aberration for a vintage and a cheap lens like this
My Pentax-M 28mm 2.0 smokes this puppy IMHO.
Haha ok. Have you used both and can you elaborate on this statement ? :)
The Pentax 28mm f2 is the Hollywood lens, same optical design as the Contax 28mm f2, and the later Zeiss classic ZF and ZE.
the color is off?
Of what ?
No more affordable lol
Compared to Cine glass or even modern stills lenses they’re pretty cheap for what you get :).
