Why not the highly regarded 35mm also? It sits between and too close to the 28mm and 45mm. 28, 45, 90 and Zeiss. I picked up these three lenses and soon found that everything ever written about Zeiss lenses is true. So good, it suspended my virtual film camera shopping list until further notice.įor starters, three numbers and a name played a huge part in this decision. So good, it put other film cameras on a trailer regardless of format. But the G1 was so good the G2 soon followed (both purchased from KEH.com). Initially, I bought the G1 because it was good value compared to the G2 and just about any film camera spec wise. While I do still own the FED 2, it is a completely different animal and I kept it for the pure "bang for a buck" novelty of it allįor the Contax G system, I will leave others such as Ken Rockwell, Wikipedia, and Camerapedia and the like to fill you in on the history.īoth in my case. Sadly, I no longer own any of it. Was it because of the FED 2 I compared it to in that same post? Nope. I even added another lens to it and it was a bonafide Leica lens (found on KEH.com), the 90mm Elmar C. If you read my last post you would know that I owned, used, fell for, and cherished the mighty and legendary Leica M3.
