Yep, you lose camera aperture control, so how you use it is to focus wide open, then stop down to the aperture you want and do/judge the metering from there.



You then of course need to open the aperture again to judge focus for the next shot.



It makes a bit more sense to get the 50mm in ZF than the 21mm.

This is the reason I prefer Zeiss 50mm f2 ze version over ZF! In macro work with manual focus lens ze-version is much more practical than a lens with adapter. I have noticed this because I own both 50mm f2 ze and Zeiss Contax 60mm f2.8 S-Planar macro with adapter.

21mm distagon is a lens easier to use also with adapter, and it makes more sens to choose ZF-version. But I love my ze version!
