 Jeff Cipolla.'s recommendation | |
Outstanding feel and build quality of the camera, and exceptional lenses. The (rare) 36-82mm Zoomar, the first zoom lens ever made for 35mm still photography, is available for this camera.
This is not a quiet camera - the shutter trips with a precise, satisfying, but cannonlike report.
I own a Zeiss Icarex 35S and the 50/2.8 Tessar, 35/3.4 Skoparex, and 135/4 Dynarex lenses. All deliver exceptional images. The feel and handling of the camera is excellent, although the metering system, which requires stop-down is cumbersome compared to modern cameras. The focusing screen is excellent.
