My new toy: Zeiss 1.4/50mm T* Planar C/Y AE lens :)
Nov 1st
Bought this baby from a Club Snap forummer, it’s quite a well-used copy, with a bit of dings here and there but its razor sharp. Sharper than my previous Sigma 1.4/50mm! It’s a full manual focus lens. Photos so far has the legendary Zeiss factor, film like & contrasty. Can’t wait to try the “3-D” oomph with the superb bokeh effect. 
P/S: Happy belated Halloween.
