Season 3 Episode 19 - Analog Combo: CONTAX Carl Zeiss Planar T* 50mm F/1.7 Lens w/ the CONTAX ST

Another analog combo - this time featuring the legendary glass that is c/y mount Carl Zeiss. Luckily today’s episode is not only about lens performance that will blow your mind - but it comes at a quite reasonable price. Yes, today will be all about the often maligned AEJ version of the Zeiss lineup, as well as their somewhat neglected SLRs from the 80s & 90s. Will this under $200 50mm Planar live up to the c/y lenses of renown? Are there any original 1975 era RTS cameras that still fully function? Is the viewfinder on the CONTAX ST a joy to behold? Tune in, turn on - grab a cup of tea - and listen in.
