Title: Z7ii + 135/1.8 Plena
Post by: MEPER on May 03, 2026, 12:59:49

Yesterday evening I went out for a small walk with my Z7 and Plena lens for some light capturing.
Probably the sharpest general purpose wide aperture lens I have. The Z50/1.8 is also pretty good.
I did not use any sharpening. I see no real use for it as images are sharp enough "out of box" and I often don't like the enhanced contrast "unsharp mask" causes.
I like the colors and contrast of the lens and the absence of CA.
The images are in pairs (reduced to 1900 pixels at longest end + a 100% crop).
ISO 64 was the setting.

This one is shot at aperture 2.5.
