You must admit it sounds very different to your statement hereabove. It is difficult to duel with you in those conditions ;-) QUOTE "I meant Zeiss Contax lenses. That is, actually confirmed to me by Blake Ziegler, the father of the Contax G2, and head honcho at Contax USA. All Contax G and SLR lenses are "neutral" by his definition, and Leica is warmer. I agree with him, but for me Leica is neutral and Zeiss is blue." UNQUOTE So : yellow ? blue ? red ? green ? neutral ? Till Erwin gets back with the results of his deviation measurements to the ISO standard, I'll restate my feeling, based on my multiplatform experience (with my less than perfect retina) and respect for CdI benchmarks: there is no systematic color cast to current ranges of lenses from the main respected vendors.
