Summary
This is another sharp and contrasty Zeiss lense that you should carry with you. The rating on the lense is not as high as other Contax 645 Zeiss lenses, but I am very happy with the quality. The pictures taken with this lense, even with the 1.4 extender look very sharp and have good color and contrast.

Strengths
Sharp, good contrast and color, good solid construction

Weaknesses
long and without tripod collar, only f4.

Summary
Another great lens in a system of Contax/Zeiss lenses. Color, contrast and sharpness belond compare. Wonderful for close ups and shots that require a 135mm focal length equivalent to 35mm. Background, out of focus area, looks like a well painted Monet.

Strengths
Color,contrast and sharpness. Smooth AF.

Weaknesses
Long and front end weight on the camera.
