Darn expensive.<br /><br />The Pancolar 80/1.8 was one of my favourite lenses and I used it a lot in the past. It's be neglected lately. It's not a common lens and prone to mechanical failure (aperture), but is worth collecting/buying if you can get it cheap.Lens Bubblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06445561503570800312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577546745078520453.post-12800620206993927172010-07-09T22:53:47.088-04:002010-07-09T22:53:47.088-04:00I'm a big fan of the 50/1.4.

I shoot landscape and its a great focal length on the cropped sensor and is the sharpest lens I know. I'm really looking forward to trying the 100/2 one of these days! :)<br /><br />nice to see your lens collection there. I had been wondering what it looked like. What do you think of your pancolar 80/1.8? That is my current dream lens.natebarnzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02795678413342891722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577546745078520453.post-90078678918235443972010-07-09T22:44:22.556-04:002010-07-09T22:44:22.556-04:00Oh don't tempt me!

Too bad it's just slightly shy of infinity focus, but that's one nice lens.<br /><br />Have some pictures here taken with it:<br />http://www.pbase.com/gummiebear/carl_zeiss_rollei_50mm_f14Lens Bubblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06445561503570800312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577546745078520453.post-26510625854955704352010-07-09T22:37:43.046-04:002010-07-09T22:37:43.046-04:00I think its a sign that you need another Planar :)...I think its a sign that you need another Planar :)natebarnzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02795678413342891722noreply@blogger.com
