Contax 35/1.4 is one of the most impressive lenses that I have ever owned, although its design is not very new. The 85/1.4 I had is also a semi-classic and to my eyes in the same league with the 80/1.4R with some differences in their characters (and prices!). The 85/1.2, which I myself cannot afford and a friend of mine owns, is a superb lens that gives satisfying images from wide open. I am not sure if the differences in image quality justify those in their market prices and f numbers, though. Seeing is believing. Why not DEGUSTATION ? ;-) Mikiro At 10:58 pm -0500 28/2/01, Emanuel Lowi wrote: >I believe the current Contax 35/1.4 has an aspherical element and is quite >good. >Don't know anything about the Contax 85mm f1.4 or 1.2 lenses. > >Emanuel Lowi >Montreal
