I'm interested in the K-35's. What can you tell me about them?
Thanks

I've shot with both versions, the superspeeds and the standard speeds. The Superspeeds are really nice lenses. I like the look they give, especially skin tones. The standard speeds I used were pretty soft wide open, and overall I just didn't like them as much.

But, as to the RPPs, nice job Richard. Fun video to watch to see the various lenses intermixed. Ah, one of those times I wish I was living in So. Cal. I never did get a chance to see the RPPs on the projector at the REDUSER event.

I brought my Canon K-35 24mm PL Superspeed with me to contrast/compare. The K-35s are almost identical in look to the Zeiss Superspeeds, Canon's being just a few hairs sharper fully open.

Hi Richard, I never had the chance to shoot with the K35s yet but Zeiss SuperSpeeds have a flare that looks like in the attached picture. I find it quite different to your K35s. Apart from the fact that the K35 are as fast as Super Speeds they are different glas, I guess. Nothing bad about this.

Well, they're awesome for one!

Very unknown glass. Visual Products calls the K-35 prime set, Hollywood's Biggest Secret.. Couldn't agree more. They made them back in the 70s and 80s. Won a technical Academy Award due to their new Aspherical design. They flare nicely. Have a very pleasing contrast and are just slightly softer than a modern lens. They are also full frame!

The flares do look different, however, the optical looks are so close to identical. Someone did some cross comparison between a set of MKIII SS and K-35s, and I couldn't tell the difference fully open or closed down.

K-35s have a nice round bokeh. I think there are 9+ iris blades in there..
