Let's talk about Zeiss baby! Contax Carl Zeiss lenses are in high demand even in 2020, in this video I put the optics aside and talk about what I LOVE about these lenses and why you might want to consider them in 2020.

The Contax Carl Zeiss video that nobody asked for, but I made anyway: 

CHEAT SHEET

Two Versions of Contax Carl Zeiss lenses made:

1) AE “Ninja Star” (1975-1984). AEG (AE lenses made in West German) AEJ (AE lenses made in Japan)

2) MM (1984-2005). MMG (MM lenses made in West Germany) MMJ (MM lenses made in Japan) 

No difference between lenses made in Japan or West Germany, it was strictly a manufacturing cost savings decision. Zeiss quality control was entirely equal between both production lines.

Hey Mark, Good to know...from Takumar ambassador to Germany fan.

Because of you, I brought my first SMC Takumar 55 1.8 and Super Tak 50 1.4 "hot" lens for my girl. Recently, I brought Jupiter-9 85 f2 and start reading the history of its. I found the soviet lens closely link to Zeiss company after WWII. The history from Zeiss and Leitz even longer than Pentax and those japan companies. I have never been so interest in history. Haha...

Hi Mark - the style of your videos is really amazing. The turntable scene .. fantastic. A pure source of inspiration. If one day you showed all vintage lenses start making tutorials on how to make videos like that :D

[nmiles]

Ooooo, ive really been wanting to see you talk about these lenses. Can’t wait!

[mrsnack]

like the new intro. And the found footage from the old commercials are just gold! Well done Mark!

[deniselisboa]

[alanbesedin]

Absolutely incredible mini documentary. The visuals and edit are also as good as they get!

This man loves puns almost as much as he loves vintage glass. 😉

These Contax Zeiss lenses have completely overtaken my vintage lens collection. Great video. Looking forward to the next one.

I have an RTS since the 90s. Its light meter has now died and apparently cannot be repaired, but the camera still works fine in manual mode. The 50/1.4 Zeiss is the sharpest lens I have ever tried, and now I am using it with my Nikon DSLR - but only for close-ups, as it does not focus to infinity on this camera.

loved the video dude... as always... I always love the videos to be fair. can't wait to see what else is to come with that beautiful S1H, and the whole premiere things is awesome.

Great job on this Mark. I had a Zeiss pancolar and the ninja star pattern really turned me off especially if the sun was in the background of a portrait. As always this was very well produced

[crispin]

Like waiting for Christmas morning ....

[nissenys]

Not only informative but so well made.

[albanrobert]

Amazing editing and story telling as always. I really like the way you talk about the history of the lens !

[DanielAx]

Nooo, these are already expensive enough, stop fueling the hype! 😁
Great video!

[anchorsanvils]
