thank you for the initiative to cover this lens, very useful indeed .
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Luca. You're right. Please accept my apologies for my previous post.
No problems! Have a great day ✌🏻
I bought the lens thanks to you is freaking amazing. excelent image rendition smoth bokeh and the famous zeiss pop for little money.
thanks for sharing
Hey Stephano! I'm happy you like it, it's a true gem of a lens... I know!
Helpful video ,thank you so much 😊.
Thanks for watching
Non mi aspettavo che fosse così nitido, buono a sapersi! E comunque figata i canali congelati!
È una lente pazzesca... neanche io me lo aspettavo!
Awesome lens. If you need something more compact with a bit less reach, I’d recommend the Minolta MD 75-150mm f/4, which is optically in the same ballpark.
Thanks! I'll check that lens ahahah
Just ordered up my second copy because of this video! They are such a bargain.😁
It makes sense...if they break, the chances to find a replacement in the future will be really low :(
The pictures on the canals are amazing, good job 📸 love this lens!
Thank you Kelly! ❤️
I just to live in Neer and I had that warmy days too hahahaha good ;)
Sounds to be the perfect companion with the Contax Zeiss Vario-Sonnar 35-70mm f3.4 which is an incredible lens, that rivals many of the primes in that focal length as well. Maybe I should give the 80-200 a try as well.
How's the distortion with the 35-70? I was thinking to buy it to pair it with the 80-200 f4...cheers!
@@LucaBono.Studio - no visible distortion at all ! It is a fantastic lens. Look up Kyle MacDougals youtube channel - he has a great review of the lens 👍
Thanks Peter! Il check it!
Great video mate! images look fantastic. I have some Contax Zeiss primes so this would make for a great addition to the set!
You can't go wrong with this lens mate! It's superb!
Great info thanks lucca
Keep posting valuable content like this
Thank you Stephano!
Great review will definitely take a look at this lense. Glad I found you through the Vintage lense Facebook page 👌 New Subscriber
Hey Pete! Thank you so much!
Can you also try next Vario-Sonnar 40-80mm f/3.5 to review?
If it has the same Chromatic Aberration issue as this, I see no review of it only pic that might have been edited to remove Chromatic Aberration?
I don't own that lens and i never tried it...sorry!
What do you want to see for the next video? Zeiss classic 35mm F2 or Leica R 35mm F2?
The Leica one if you don’t mind!
Zeiss please, Luca.
Both 😀
Nice video brother 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you Brad!
Nice video!! 🔥🔥📷
Thank you Attila!
Hey Luca! Love this video. Thanks for putting in the hard work for this one! Are you in Italy?
Thanks Ellizon! I live in the Netherlands since 5 years, but I'm Italian 🤟🏻
@@LucaBono.Studio ahh very nice! Subscribed! I was in Italy recently and fell in love with the place!
Hi what adapters do you use for mounting
Hey Luca
Thank you for the video review, can you tell us what.is the best adapter from contax zeiss to l mount. thanks again
Hi Omar, I' use a cheap one that I've bought on Ebay...If Novoflex makes one, I would get that one. Cheers!
Ciao Luca! Do you need lens support for this when shooting video becuase of the weight and being front heavy?
Yeah, the lens is a bit long and a lens support will be worth it to consider if you film handheld. The CA are not that visible in video
Does this have issues with chromatic aberations in video mode? Or mainly stills?
CA are there...so they're there both in photos and videos ✌🏻
Hi Luca, is it possible the CA on APS-C is caused by FF lens on APS-C sensor and less to do with pixel density? From the reviews I have seen regarding FF lenses on APS-C the image quality is often worst with more softness than on a FF body.
Hi Ty Lou! Yes the CA are caused by the higher pixel density of the apsc sensor ;) so if you plan to use this lens on a 42mpx full frame sensor you'll have the same CA as the apsc sensor
@@LucaBono.Studio I see what you are saying... This lens might not be a good investment long term wise because camera companies will probably continue increasing the megapixels.
I'm very curious as Lumix S5 and GH5 user so I will try it out on the GH5 to see what happens, I might get a Sony E-mount adapter too to test it out on my friend's A7R to see if it is an issue with pixel density or just crop sensor.
@@tylou4479 You will probably use it just on the S5 :D buy only the C/Y to Leica TL adapter
Great video Luca, would you rather have the 80-200 or the 85mm prime in your kit? To me the 80-200 seems a lot more versatile. How is the zoom when operating? Do you find the zoom focal length moves by accident when you focus?
I've both and I tend to use the 85mm more often when I film people. For landscape and extreme closeups I use the 80-200. The zoom ring is buttery smooth and amazing to work with! Just get it, you'll love it 🫶🏻
@@LucaBono.Studio Grazie per la tua risposta! Fai anche i video in l’italiano? Sono Americano, ma sto provando di trovare contenuti interessanti per esercitarmi nella lingua, ma non ho scoperto molto, ne libri, ne video in l’italiano che riguardano film e cinematografia. Mi piace il tuo canale, complimenti! A proposito, comprerò la lente oggi!
Di niente! No, non faccio video in italiano al momento...magari più in la aprirò un altro canale in italiano riguardo alla cinematografia. Vedrai che ti piacerà quella lente! Se gli abbini il contax zeiss 35-70mm f3.4 stai apposto a vita 🤣
@@LucaBono.Studio l’ho comprato l’altro giorno e ho appena comprato il 80-200 stamattina 😂 questa combinazione è una bomba, soprattutto per fare i documentari. Grazie per il tuo consiglio 😎
Definitely considering buying this lens. Very nice images! Is this lens parfocal?
Yes, it's one of the best lenses I have! No it's not parfocal, but it's easy to adjust the focus while zooming in and out. Keep in mind that the front of the lens will rotate while focusing, so it's unusable with cpl filters while filming.
@@LucaBono.Studio off topic: Do you record in C4K or 4K.? I've been recording in C4K but don't want to continue if it doesn't have advantages or it's inefficient, etc.
I got it to combine it with 28-85 😉
That's a great combo! No primes?
@@LucaBono.Studio 2/28 ze Distagon, 2.8/35 elmarit, 2/100 ze planar, 4/180 elmar. I’m looking for 50, summicron or planar... need to decide, what do you suggest? 🙂
Eh....that's a difficult question. I've 2 summicron 50mm (1 for the film camera) and one planar ZF, I don't see myself getting rid of one of them. They're both fantastic, but considering what you have you should get the Planar to complete your set of zeiss lenses 😉
I have the same combination. The 28-85 is such an underrated gem! My favorite lens!
Hi Luca does the barrel rotate when u pull focus?
Hi buddy, no it doesn't
Luca, please could you clarify why an apsc sensor is not a good fit for the 80-200 . I have this lens with a sony 6500 and even at f/8 the images seem very low contrast/ thin.
Because the lens is not sharp enough for the standards of modern sensors. 24mpx with the aps-c sensor is too much for this lens, the camera read only the center part of the lens. Probably with an apochromatic lens you will not have the problem with the a6500, but those lenses are expensive...
@@LucaBono.Studio Thanks - so if I used an a73 that would also be a problem because the sensor is too sharp? I did rent an A7S3 with the 12MB sensor and it looked SO much better ....
Zero problems with the Sony A7III...24mpx full frame sensor is good for this lens.
@@LucaBono.Studio Got it, thanks. So full frame 24mpx good - 24 mpx APSC sensor is bad. This explains so much of my frustration with my 80-200mm lens on my sony 6500. By the way - my other contax zeiss lenses - 85 2.8 and 50 1,7 and 28 2.8 - all look great on my apsc sony.
@@Scriptfella you're welcome, have fun! Ps drop me a message on Instagram, I would love to see your photos 🍻
Does the CZ / CY 80-200 have any issue with lens creep?
No it can't. It's a pump zoom lens :)
@@LucaBono.Studio After watching this video very many times I decided to pull the trigger. That's for doing this great video Luca!
It is heavy?
No it's just a bit long ;)
