What about a Zeiss macro lens?

Unread post by henniebez »

I want a macro lens!


Is the sony/minolta good enough, or is there space for a Zeiss one. I know there is alot of open spaces in the Sony lens line up! But you know every man may have a dream! A dream like no other!

Wow meneer, 'n verassing om jou hier te kry.

Enige Zeiss lens sal 'n aanwins vir die Sony reeks wees. Daar is net een klein probleemtjie, die prys!! Maar die Sony 105 Macro is 'n uitstekende lens.

Hi Robbie

Jip ek vind hierdie forum die mees ingeligste as dit kom by die alpha sisteem. David in my oë is kundig en ook baie beskeie en eerlik. Lekker om jou hier te sien!

the only issue with the Minolta/Sony Macro lenses (at least the 50mm 2.8 and the 100mm 2.8, I haven't try the 50mm 3.5) is the slow focus. On any camera. But opticaly, they are the best Macro lenses around. The 100mm 2.8 specially: an object of desire...

Macro lenses need finer focussing - more turns end to end - so they're bound to be a bit slower than ordinary lenses. No?
