Yes, it's well balanced.

Can't say, I haven't tried the Canon one. The zeiss is very very sharp @ f2.8, and pretty ok wide open.

Do you ever post any images on site such as Flickr ?

@mikeismad61 Improve T star coating.. haha :) You pay a premium price, however there's nothing but love in these lenses. I also bought the 35mm f2, sweet. Yes its an old/clasic design and people buy the older versions from ebay.

Thank you for your helpful reply. I used/sold Contax / Yashica gear including range of Zeiss lenses, I also suspect that since a Sonnor is still based upon a Sonnor design (for example) there can't be many differences apart from perhaps improving the T star coating...???

Thanks for posting an enjoyable unboxing vid - now all I have to do is work out how to afford the glass!

[mikeismad61]

Has anyone seen any reviews comparing the older Contax/ Yashica ZEISS lenses and the latest Canon/ Nikon fit versions?

Now that would be interesting!

[thanosantho]

@mikeismad61 I have read some reviews, some people claim that the differences are barely noticeable in terms of image quality. Sorry but I can't remember the links.

After the use what about the manual focusing?

Best regards.
