the Zeiss / Contax 90mm f/2.8 Sonnar | Jim Gamblin

Each of us have a favorite focal length lens or field of view that we most like to work with.  For me it has always been the mid telephoto.  My first lens that fit in there was Nikon’s famed 105mm f/2.5 AI.  Later on I added the 180mm f/2.8 AIS and then an 85mm f/2 AIS to my kit.  Between these three I felt confident and used them all a great deal of the time. Then Nikon came out with the first of the constant  f/2.8 zooms.  I replaced (mostly out of convenience) with the 80-200mm f/2.8 AF-D lens.  Big and heavy, but had the advantage of filling out those favorite focal length lenses of mine, without much loss of speed.  Let me say that it took me years before I ever used the AF.  Oh how times have changed. The digital age came upon us and with it came more change, both in technology, my career and personal preference.  Regret set in for having sold off my three mid tele lenses. At this point I got rid of my zoom lenses and started re-acquiring primes.  This time with AF-D lenses.  First to come was the 85mm f/1.4, followed quickly by the 180mm f/2.8. Last to come into my possession was the 135mm f/2 AF-D DC lens, which has turned out to be my favorite.  Really an exceptional lens with a focal length that just clicks for me……
