[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 145827, member: 13076"] No direct experience but the Zeiss ZF lenses provide a bit more blueish hue to images. Contrast is better than on Nikon lenses although sharpeness wide open isn't always so good compared to Nikon but stopped down a bit and they are very good. What I don't like about the ZF (or ZF2) lenses are reports of significant distortion even greater than equivalent Nikons, or more mild distortion but of complex type so not easily corrected for. Pros use Zeiss lenses for film and probably find the color rendition and excellent contrast appealing. But the flare control isn't so hot on some Zeiss lenses. I can't speak about Schneider. But going back to Scott's question, have you considered any of the Nikon pro lenses? [/QUOTE]
