- The vintage Carl Zeiss 28mm f2.8 lens is a very interesting piece of gear, especially mounted to a modern digital mirrorless camera like the Sony A7 II full frame camera.
Check out the video to see sample images of how this modern camera and vintage lens performed, and my thoughts after using them.
If you have any experience with this lens or any other favorite vintage lenses let me know about it in the comments.

What's Your Favorite Vintage Wide Angle Lens? Leave me a comment.
I have the Yashica version of this lens and I love it. I have a Contax Zeiss 35 and 50. I primarily shoot vintage class. I’m currently building 2 sets, a FD set and a Contax Zeiss set. I have two Minolta Rokkor lenses also.
Have you shot any Yashica lenses? I’d be curious to see if the Contax is a better lens. I only paid $55 for my Yashica.
Thank you for the comment. I do not have a lot of experience with the Yashica glass. From what I understand though, they are very similar to the CZ's. Enjoy building the FD set, I'm on the same journey currently.
Do you have a particular brand of lens adapter that you'd recommend? I also use a Sony a7ii and might be interested in trying a vintage Zeiss or two. Thanks!
I use a variety of brands of adapters and for the most part they all work well. I do like Kipon adapters, but I think that is mostly because I am just used to them and know they always work well.
Thanks for the info
@@Al_Prazolam of course. Have fun exploring those Zeiss lenses.
I found a trio of vintage soviet medium format lenses for $70usd near my home. A 150mm f2.8, a 85mm f2.8 and a 60mm f3.5. They are pentacon six mount. The brand is (maybe) Kiev or something, the letters are cyrillic, so I can't read them. The 150mm have a dent and aperture doesn't work properly, but the glass is perfect. Are they worth the 70usd? I would need to buy an adapter too
Thank you for the comment. Typically I stay away from lenses that don't work properly regardless of cost. There are so many options out there I would prefer fully functioning vintage lenses. Without seeing the lenses, the price doesn't sound bad for the 85 and 60, but again without seeing them it is hard to say if that is a great price or not.
In the vintage lens world, the Contax zeiss are pretty much the best there is except maybe the Leica Rs.
Thank you for the input. The C/Y Zeiss lenses are amazing for sure.
