4.0 out of 5 stars A fine 35mm lens for the Contax G series, November 11, 2004
This review is from: CONTAX 35mm F/2.0 - Contax G1 & G2 Cameras (Electronics)
The only reason why I am not awarding this fine optic five stars, since it is out-performed wide open at f2 by the Leica M 35mm f2 Aspheric Summicron, with regards to contrast and resolution. However, when this lens is stopped down to f4 or f5.6, it is just as capable a performer as its more expensive competition. Optically speaking, this lens resembles most closely the Canadian and late German versions of the 35mm f2 Summicron, so I would not hesitate using it wide open at f2 if I had to. Indeed, I have seen a Popular Photography test report of this lens that shows it is still a fine performer at f2, improving at f2.8, and especially, f4. When I want to bring one lens with my Contax G2, then the 35mm f2.0 Planar usually is my first choice.
