    You spoil me for your nuanced highly detailed reviews/comparisons! Great job yet again! Thank you

    Great Review as always, both lenses looks top notch!! I think it is worth mentioning that for Nikon users the Zeiss is without competition since the canon is not an option.

    • @DustinAbbottTWI

      +yair tammam That is absolutely true, and I cover that in my final review

    Great review! Direct side by side comparisons are the best way to review. Especially as everyone has a different idea of what 'ideal' is, showing direct comparisons provide opportunities for people to see the real differences and make up their own minds. I wish more people reviewed lenses like this.

    • @DustinAbbottTWI
      @DustinAbbottTWI  7 лет назад

      It's not a format that lends itself to a quick, five minute review. It takes time, and it requires getting multiple lenses in at the same time. It's work!

    There it is again- the Zeiss factor. Again, I just love the rendering.

    Still prefer the bokeh rendering of the original 35L compared to the 35L II. Sharpness isn't everything.

    • @DustinAbbottTWI
      @DustinAbbottTWI  5 лет назад +1

      I agree in theory, but I personally love the 35LII and consider it to be the finest non-telephoto prime lens Canon has ever made.

  • @thisis5123
    @thisis5123 6 лет назад +1

    I agree with your assessment at 12:30. The Zeiss does have superior micro contrast to my eye. I do see a difference. I'd be interested in seeing a comparison, which I may possibly do myself, when financial opportunity, comparing the Milvus 35 1.4 compared to the previous version 1.4, and hopefully put to rest any concerns that there was any trade off gaining resolution. Of course the concerns hold water, but I'd be interested to see. Thank you for your awesome reviews. You have the best reviews of any that i've seen, both online, or from any other sources. You manage to take everyones voice into consideration and truly do a service to everyone in a friendly and presentable way. You're awesome, I'm setting up online financial resources to that I can become a patreon to yourself and others similar.

    Mr. Abbott, it’s good to see that the Milvus redeemed itself in these categories. That said, the sharpness issue is just going to bug me, if I were a Canon shooter I probably would go with the Canon.

    • @DustinAbbottTWI
      @DustinAbbottTWI  7 лет назад

      +floex831 I get it! I too expected the Milvus lens to be the sharper one

    @chrisrout1654 7 лет назад

    Great review Dustin, for me compared to Canon, the Zeiss has that bit better colour rendering and quality that seems to make it special, you can see this in yours and Lloyd Chambers reviews, but with these lenses being so close I think AF will be the biggest decider between them both!

    • @DustinAbbottTWI

    Dustin,.... I loved the review. As always, You're the man. ...... Well.... That's what I think. Now I own the Canon 35L ii. In the entire review I noticed you said " splitting hairs " a number of times. No doubt .... You're right! The big deal to me is the auto-focus with the Canon and being so close ....... well ....... let's just say I love this Canon
    lens that much more!

    • @DustinAbbottTWI
      @DustinAbbottTWI  7 лет назад +1

      +MrBillblake123 Right. The 35L II is an awesome lens (I own one myself), and the fact that it has fast, accurate autofocus makes it even more special

  • @projecthydra507
    @projecthydra507 7 лет назад

    Great review as always Dustin!!! Really hard one to pick out of the two fantastic lenses. But I might tip my hat off to Zeiss. It just has that typical "zeiss" rendering look

  • @simonc4764
    @simonc4764 6 лет назад

    Hands down the Milvus is better and a pretty clever lens too. It prodcues nicer bokeh at wide aperture when you are really in need of blurred background. When stepped down you expect nice sharp contrast and here the Milvus excell. The 3D pop is unrivalled. If AF is important to you then you should pick Canon but everything else its Zeiss.

    • @DustinAbbottTWI
      @DustinAbbottTWI  6 лет назад

      That's often the case. This lens has the nicest rendering of any 35mm lens I've personally used.

  • @woodykeiko
    @woodykeiko 7 лет назад

    Dustin, nice review, you got me interested in Zeiss. Do you have suggestions on how to use manual focus on a 5d4? Is live-view + magnification the only way to ensure spot-on manual focus?

    • @DustinAbbottTWI
      @DustinAbbottTWI  7 лет назад

      +Woody Y through careful technique you can use focus confirmation to help, but the best way to ensure accurate focus is the Live View plus magnification

  • @joebledea
    @joebledea 6 лет назад

    Hello Mr Abbott. Thank you for this comparison. It would be pretty cool ifyou can make a similar comparison between the canon 35mm 1.4 L II and the sony zeiss 35mm 1.4 distagon, now that you have the A7rii. Thanks a bunch again for all your work

    • @DustinAbbottTWI
      @DustinAbbottTWI  6 лет назад

      That's definitely on the radar, though I'll have to fit existing lenses in around the schedule for new releases.

  • @kirk0831

    Can you do similar on comparing 35 L mark I and II? Do you think mark I also has better bokeh?

    • @DustinAbbottTWI
      @DustinAbbottTWI  4 года назад +1

      Hi Kirk, I'm afraid at this point that I'm far too busy to go back and do that kind of comparison. You're talking about a 22 year old lens in the case of the original 35mm

    • @kirk0831
      @kirk0831 4 года назад

      @@DustinAbbottTWI that's true, but just people is talking the magic boke of the 35L mark I. Can't find any video comparing mark I vs II. It's ok I will buy one and test it out.

    • @christophewagner4028
      @christophewagner4028 3 года назад +1

      Hi I have the 35 L version 1 and tried the II. For me no doubt, the 1 is better for Bokeh, and also for the color rendering
      it's also far much cheeper on second market. You can find one for 600 usd. AF is the same
      I dont understand why people are interested for manual focus lenses !
      Just for studio ok, but for the rest...
      Worked with Nikon F3 and all manual, it was ok, but the viewfinders of our DSLR are not designed for manual focus

    • @moreorless87
      @moreorless87 4 дня назад

      ​@@christophewagner4028It seems to me like the Milvus has been designed to give more the character of those older lenses(the old Zeiss 35mm F/1.4 as well as the Nikon 35mm F/1.4 G) when shot at F/1.4 - F/2 were some sharpness is sacrificed(although not as much here it seems, mostly in the corners) for smoother bokeh BUT when stopped down it performances more like a modern lens, sharp across the frame with as few aberrations as possible. Seems like a good choice to me which makes it more of a two in one kind of lens.

    • @DustinAbbottTWI

      I'm not a huge fan of the Sigma 35A due to inconsistent focus issues.

    A lot of thought about how & what one shoots needed. AF v manual , sharpness & rendering, I agree with your assessment & since I don't own any 35mm prime the choice produces something of a headache. A good headache to have I suppose.

      +Morvegil Jorsalfar and that will be true for the majority of Canon shooters

    • @simonc4764
      @simonc4764 6 лет назад

      Only if you auto focus from f2.8 and higher because Canon most sensitive centre AF point only allows upto f2.8. If you want to AF wider than f2.8 you will struggle.

  • @michonn2
    @michonn2 6 лет назад

    I think milvus is not real 35 m the subject is closer than canon so this is why you get more bokeh on milvus

    • @DustinAbbottTWI
      @DustinAbbottTWI  6 лет назад

      That's certainly a possibility. It's not unusual for there to be minor variances, as the standard focal lengths are rarely the exact focal length of lenses, so they round up or down to the standard (within limits). That's why we don't have 36mm or 34mm lenses, which would just confuse people.

    • @michonn2
      @michonn2 6 лет назад +1

      Anyway I have tested this lens on a Sony ARlll with metabones adapter and I was shocked how well the AF works even on 1.4. There was some issue in close up AF but from one metre forward every shot was spot on. I am seriously thinking of buying ARlll for portraits

    • @DustinAbbottTWI
      @DustinAbbottTWI  6 лет назад +1

      That's a nice combination, actually.
