The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Zeiss ZE/ZF.2 Apo Sonnar T* 135mm f/2 Pros: Mechanical and optical quality, sharpness and micro contrast, colours, no purple fringing Cons: Weight, MF Opinion: Bought new in 2015 for the Canon 6D and got razor-sharp images. I display them on the 32" monitor without losing quality. Exceptional quality, especially in low-light, theater-like photos. High sharpness already at F2. Later I mounted it on the Sony with a 42 megapixel sensor, amazing results, of course increasing the resolution of the sensor increases the problem of micro blur. For portraits I prefer the rendering with the 6D which also gives a small grain effect. Used in landscapes, you can see an extra gear. At the beginning I felt like I was reliving the transition in Hasselblad from normal optics to 180 CF (or 120 CF) which showed an extra grit. Last I use it with the Sony A7R4 61 megapixels, exceptional results, it manages to maintain the same level of quality. It is still a very valid point of view, I do not add other qualities already widely known by other comments on this page. When I bought this lens there were not many solutions, today the alternative could be the Sony 135/1.8, I tried to make comparison shots with both obtaining exceptional results. Perhaps the Zeiss has a more extensive color rendering. Conclusion It works well with 20, 40 and 60 megapixel sensors, in 20 years it is still valid and indestructible, it is part of those optics that have succeeded well, the Zeiss series of excellence are the 21 mm, the 100 mm macro and the Otus. I use it together with the Otus 55/1.4, a winning combination. The lack of autofocus for certain events is felt, especially at F2. If it has to give way to Sony, it's only because of the latter's autofocus. sent on July 21, 2023 |
 | Zeiss Otus Distagon T* 55mm f/1.4 Pros: Made high at any aperture. Overall image rendition. Post-production minimized. Cons: Weight and price Opinion: Bought on occasion but, still equipped with packaging and guarantee. When you are holding a Zeiss the first thing that comes to mind is the high sharpness/resolution of the images. In my opinion the Zeiss lenses should be appreciated for their general rendering that, no optics of other manufacturers are able to supply. At the sharpness level the Otus series is currently the most you can get. Before this I used the Planar 50/1.4 But, the Otus is another level. Aberrations seem to be non-existent. The images look like sculptures because of their three-dimensionality. The separation of the planes is very well marked, very useful in the landscapes. Photos taken in direct sunlight show a good reading of the shadows without risk of having dark or too light areas. Post production work is minimized, only small exposure adjustments. The chromatic rendition I think is very balanced/natural. By taking photos to models with curly or wavy hair you are stunned by the beauty of the three-dimensional image, the same photo made with other lenses you notice a compression/crushing of the planes. I use it more for photos at the theater or in environments with soft light, in these situations brings out all the grit. I agree that addictive, buy other lenses after this is very difficult because the comparison meter is very strict. I use it in conjunction with the 135/2 Apo Sonnar which I consider other planet apart for its resosure surrender. If you have a machine with many mega pixels I think it is a right choice. Today the builders Churm out machine bodies with high mega pixels but the optics are not up to par. The manual focus requires a special attention, after a bit of training you can also take the F 1.4. I recommend a camera body with a pretty big viewfinder, example I have the Nikon D800E and I am fine. I also tried to put it on Canon but the viewfinder is different and it turns out + difficult to focus. Last consideration are the positive comments that will make on your vs. Images. sent on August 14, 2018 |
