Zeiss Lenses in multiple formats:
I'm sure the argument has been made that a reason to use a Zeiss system on your
35mm camera system would be to "match" the "look" you are getting on your Medium
Camera System" Hasselblad, Rollei, Rolleiflex and others. The Zeiss "look" would
give a continuity to your body of work and of course to each individual mixed
format shoot. They do make Zeiss lenses for sheet film don't they? Maybe not? I
wonder if anyone here has had the pleasure of discovering the joys and secrets
of having your images match up better because of such a consistency of vision-
consistency of brandname.
Or is it not worth it in the slightest?
