You will be mine. 35mm f/1.4 FE Zeiss Distagon.
So I’m going to spend $2k on a lens for my camera today. The camera itself (a7S) has been the most expensive camera related purchase for me to date. I’ve hated this because I loved the fact that I got similar results with a $500 camera before this camera. There’s just something about being the underdog, and having people out there impressed that I was shooting with a toy camera as opposed to a pro camera. IE: They were crediting me for my skills, and not crediting me for the gear I use.
The main gripe I have with my current set-up is the 55mm lens. It’s awesome. I love it, BUT… it puts me too far away from the action. My style of photography is quite intimate, and with this set-up (in comparison to my old Micro 4/3rds GF1/6) I’m sometimes literally standing outside of my bedroom to get a full frame shot of a girl on my bed. IE: I’ve needed a 35mm but there was no native 35mm lens with a low f-stop… until now!
Enter the 35mm f/1.4 FE Zeiss Distagon. It’s late to the market IMHO (I bought the a7S in November last year and have been waiting ever since), but hey it’s here! And I hate to be a gear head when it comes to photography (I’d rather not), especially when goods cost so much (I could almost have started a nice cafe racer project with this money!), but you gotta do what you gotta do. Right?!
Oh Em GEE. She’s damn hot too ;)
