‘Made in Germany’ indulgence!
I’ve been using this lens on some video work for a little while now. It is great for getting close-ups of bands when the stage is a little further away. However it does get a little shaky on a monopod when doing focus pulls. Best to have a tripod for this one, or at least the 561b video monopod. It may just be this lens but my observation is that this German-made lens is a little stiffer than the Japan-made ones. That said, both models still feel awesome. Visually it seems to blend well with my 85mm/f1.4 and other Contax Zeiss lenses. Can’t complain.
