RE: Lens test: 35mm Oldies — Nikkor vs. Zeiss
One way to make digital photography feel more alive is the use of old lenses. New ones are just too perfect, and in times of colour-anarchy this can be really boring ;)
You know that Nikon got their old lenses out of their backroom storage and selling them again?! For a hefty price!

Nikon transformed into the most arrogant Japan camera manufacturer, @captainklaus.
Fortunately I'm seldom using the 35mm format ;)
What do you use, @captainklaus?
Mostly a 8x10 Tachihara, a Nagaoka and a Graflex 4x5, and recently I've come back to my 6x7 Mamiya RB67...
Instead of 35mm I use a digital Sony RX1R. Not bad for an electronic piece...
My God, I couldn’t carry any of those things! Except maybe for that Sony RX1R… ;)
That's why I have a huge bus, that is also loaded with a darkroom ;)
seems I like big things...
Has taken me 2 years to work my way back down to the Mamiya and the Sony, after 10 years of 8x10 only...
