Longer shots? Well it is probably not really long enough except perhaps on a M4/3 body - (please don't laugh). Therefore it might be an excellent lens for mid distance shots and portraits but a big brute to handle MF in the process - although it should be very precise for the patient. It does not come with a tripod mount and the focus ring travel is very substantial for anything other than distance shots and it is not really a long telephoto by any regard. I think it is capable of some really good images - see the quick ooc jpg test snap that I enclosed as an example.
It is not a lens that I would like to carry for any length of time (but I have). It is big and heavy and I have moved towards smaller camera bodies. What is your opinion and/or experience in using the Sonnar 200mm f/28? The Tamron SP 180mm f/2.5 is also excellent and sometimes better than the Nikon. For larger aperture 200mm, I'd go for the Nikon 180mm f/2.8 ED for MF or Nikon AF-D 180mm f/2.8 ED IF for AF, which is an even better lens than the MF version. It is so small and not very stable.Ĭonsequently, for small aperture 200mm, I use the Nikon 200mm f/4 (AI or AIS) frequently. I don't care about the size because it was designed for the 6圆 Pentagon Six. The Sonnar 180mm f/2.8 is also a poorly designed lens. Well, the Nikon 180mm f/2.8 ED beats this Sonnar hands down. Compared with my Nikon 180mm f/2.8 non-ED version, this 200mm f/2.8 did not have much advantage in terms of image quality. When I got the lens and mounted on a camera, I felt cold because it is very difficult to handle, because at least its size and weight. Initially, I thought it could be better than the 180mm f/2.8 Sonnar. I have this 200mm f/2.8 Sonnar too, but I hate it very much. The difference between what this outfit and what the new Canon LTM lenses were doing is considerable. My CZJ Sonnar 200/2.8 mounted on a NEX6 so that the comparison might be more relevant. The image quality, IMO, is dated and is not as good as some modern MF lenses such as Nikon 180mm f/2.8 ED.Ĭarl Zeiss Jena Olympia Sonnar 180mm f/2.8 BTW, I found there is a Pentacon Six to NEX mount available. Once I have a Nikon mount, I can add a Nikon to NEX mount for my NEX. The one shown in the image has a Pentacon Six mount, and requires a Pentacon Six to Nikon (or Canon or. I am not sure whether an Exakta mount version is available. It is usually available in M42 and Pentacon Six mounts. The lens shown below is perhaps the latest version. This lens was designed for the Contax rangefinder and required a reflex box. The Olympia Sonnar 180mm f/2.8 was built for the 1936 summer Olympics in Berlin to show off Zeiss' capability. This is the very well-known Carl Zeiss Jena Olympia Sonnar 180mm f/2.8.
