Editorial Reviews: Since Dr. Paul Rudolph first developed the Planar formula in 1896, this superlative lens has been the mainstay of photographic fans, especially because of its almost perfect aberration compensation.The G series Planar T 35mm f2 features strong expressive power, rich tonality and extremely low distortion. The planar exhibits rich tonality across the spectrum from black to white. Excellent color rendition, flarity, high contrast and ideal tonality are hallmarks of the Planar.
Reviews : Evaluation: Conclusion: A fine 35mm lens for the Contax G series Review: The only reason why I am not awarding this fine optic five stars, since it is out-performed wide open at f2 by the Leica M 35mm f2 Aspheric Summicron, with regards to contrast and resolution. However, when this lens is stopped down to f4 or f5.6, it is just as capable a performer as its more expensive competition. Optically speaking, this lens resembles most closely the Canadian and late German versions of the 35mm f2 Summicron, so I would not hesitate using it wide open at f2 if I had to. Indeed, I have seen a Popular Photography test report of this lens that shows it is still a fine performer at f2, improving at f2.8, and especially, f4. When I want to bring one lens with my Contax G2, then the 35mm f2.0 Planar usually is my first choice. More Evaluations
