Samsung Microwave Makro

I like how it can be regenerated using a microwave oven.

Perfect match for my Zeiss f/2 Makro Planer T*. With Zeiss glass most photographers are looking for sharp focus, great contrast and wonderful color rendition... Why then do you need a filter in front of such superb optics? Hiking, a day at a theme park, the desert sand or beach mist can all mess up your lens permanently... It's at these times that I use a UV filter. Even though I'm adding another layer of glass with possible reflections and a slight lack of contrast... The Zeiss AR coating appears to be as excellent as the lenses. I'd say that it looks better to me than my B+W or Hoya filters on other lenses... I'm going to buy another Zeiss T* filter in 58mm for my Distagon 35mm!

Bought this for my new used Zeiss 50mm f/2.0 Makro-Planar ZE lens. Was warned I'd want a filter because the glass sits VERY deep into the lens housing. The filter is heavy duty and the glass seems high quality. Uploading one of my first test shots with the combination, handheld and manual focus, of course, plus agressively cropped. I'm happy with both the lens and the filter.

I use this on my Zeiss 100mm Makro-Planar. It's a quality lens and this is a quality filter. I always take a deep breath when I buy Heliopan, expensive! But worth it if you have a great lens.

I am using this adapter combining a Carl Zeiss Makro Planar 5.6 135 with bellows to my Nikon D810. For my purpose it is working great. The fit to both the camera and lens - in my case the bellows is firm and secure.

I bought this 67mm Zeiss polarizer as a companion to my Zeiss 100mm f/2 Makro Planar ZF2. It arrived promptly--just in time for fall color. Although I have used polarizers for a number of years, I had not used one on this lens. What a combination!! Tack sharp images coupled with incredibly rich fall color. Bottom line: It delivers what one expects from a polarizer and maintains the Zeiss quality.

It's a Zeiss Makro-planar design, which in some senses is really all that needs to be said. The optics are superb, as one would expect from a Zeiss. It delivers biting, cut-your-eyeballs sharpness from corner to corner, saturated colors, and a very flat field of focus. Bokeh is smooth, with nice, circular out of focus highlights. AF is reasonably quick - actually quite quick for a macro lens - and very accurate. It's small and light, in keeping with the small and light raison d'etre of the X-series cameras. I've also used this lens with a Nikon 4T closeup lens to go even closer than 1:1, with surprisingly good results. The drawbacks are very, very picky and are not the fault of the lens at all. Minimum focus distance is quite close, and like any such lens, you can get in your own light. I get around this by using my Sigma EM-140 macro ring light. It's a Nikon fit, so it doesn't do through-the-lens flash metering, but that's hardly the fault of the lens! Another drawback is that it's small enough and light enough to encourage hand-holding, but it's really not suited for that: I simply can't keep still enough to keep subjects within the narrow DOF of macro work at magnification approaching 1:1. This is not the lens's fault either, as it applies to any macro lens near 1:1 without a tripod. Results from this Zeiss on the X-T10 are indistinguishable from similarly framed shots with a Nikon D3x + 105/f2.8 AFS VR Micro-Nikkor or 60/f2.8 AFS Micro-Nikkor once both are printed 17x22. Price is also far less than, say, the superb Zeiss 100/f2.8 Makro-Planar in ZF mount, despite that lens only reaching 1:2 unassisted. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to shoot macro subjects with Fuji XF series cameras.

Got it to replace the stock lens cap for my Zeiss 50mm Makro-Planar ZF. Fits well... And Secure! (It you want to attach it to the lens hood the 77mm lens cap seems to work. I discovered this accidentally. But, it is good to know, I think.)

This is the best UV filter I've used. I put it on my Zeiss ZE 50/2 Makro (which has a very recessed front element), and the filter is practically invisible. It's really hard to get it to show up in the image, if kept clean.

I purchased this lens cap for my Zeiss 50mm makro planar. It is much better than the Zeiss lens cap. It is easy to remove without taking off the lens hood.
