I'm still a great fan of Zeiss (and related, i.e. older Voigtl?nder and Rollei lenses) In fact my favourite 135 is an older model Zeiss design from Voigtl?nder before the brand moved to Rollei - their 4/135 is a fantastic - and very light and compact - lens. You saw my other favourite on my 3003 in Berlin, the 1.4/85mm. Cheers Douglas Geoff Hopkinson wrote: > Douglas I see that the pixelation also but I don't think that is lens or > camera related.
