Pros: 3D pop, colors, bokeh, flare, totally unique image rendering

Cons: variance of centering between different specimens, chromatic aberrations, strong TA vignetting

Opinion: If we imagined the 35mm GM as an audio CD, this Zeiss would be one of the best vinyls out there. The 35mm GM is undoubtedly more precise, more modern, sharper, with effects such as flare and aberrations kept much better under control, but ultimately anonymous. For portraiture guys, what is not this Zeiss. Just try shooting at f/1.4 against the light or in order to try to induce flare and you will be amazed not by a hard and present flare but rather very soft, which makes the image with an extremely particular and mystical atmosphere that is simply gorgeous, with colors as if you had already applied a "warm" and pleasant LUT: Practically the image is already ready straight out of camera without corrections, beyond any retouching of the skin. The 3D rendering and the bokeh are something absolutely exceptional, for portraits personally I would take this Distagon versus the GM all my life. I think it's the lens with the most vignetting I've ever seen, quite present up to f/2.8, I don't consider it a particular defect in 2024 since with two clicks you can correct it if you want. chromatic aberrations quite present in some scenarios, but not excessive. Also tried for astrophotos, it is perhaps not the best lens (the GM in this case is better, for stacked exposures the chromatic aberrations risk adding up and at that point they become quite invasive on a photo of that type) but also in relation to the price at which it is especially used, it is fine. Eye that there is a certain variety of sharpness at the edges due to an extreme variability of the center of the lens, mine is perfectly centered but I have read of examples that are not.

Pros: Three-dimensionality, colors

Cons: Weight

Opinion: I'm always a bit intimidated every time I use it because of the weight and size, especially with the hood, which certainly do not go unnoticed, the classic lens that makes people say "watch out for this one who wants to take a picture". But then it returns a three-dimensionality that makes each portrait unique and makes pleasant play with the close-ups, with an evident detachment of the planes and a non-aggressive bokeh that gives a characteristic harmonious and not very sharp note to the images. The Zeiss colors are a certainty, the definition of the subject is impeccable, I repeat: the only difficulty in my opinion is given by weight and dimensions that impose on the photographer an "explicit" role, but so it is, a full-frame requires voluminous lenses and photographing among people it is difficult not to be noticed .. instagram.com/mmarzaro57

Pros: Colors, pop 3d, yield, microcontrasto, construction

Cons: I don't know

Opinion: Bought used here on the market at a bargain price, after having made sure that it did not suffer from the problem known to everyone on some specimens produced (on the web you can find everything, explained much better than I could explain it). The yield is great, the colors very beautiful and on autofocus I have nothing to say. It weighs a little (but I knew it), suffers aberrations (but I knew it). I recommend it to all those who do portraiture.

Pros: Zeiss Colors, FAST and precise AF, diaphragmmi declick diaphragmmi, crisp, pop 3d a ta

Cons: Maybe a little heavy, light chromatic aberrations in backlight but x what returns everything is over-fly

Opinion: For 1 and a half years or so in my hands is my travel companion, I never give up, neither for work nor for passion, it has a unique yield! On a9 it will make you fly, fast, precise, sharp, POETICO. It allows you to do state-of-the-art reporting, it allows you to be inside the scene and tell it and show it to the Observer as if it were there with you. It's a Zeiss lens you don't need to add anything else...

Pros: Light, well built, fuzzy soft, three-dimensionality, detachment of the subject

Cons: Chromatic aberrations almost always present, flare sometimes

Opinion: My favorite lens, an incredible optical quality, a blurry one and a deadlift of scary planes. Built well, all in all light, AF responsive and fast enough. You need to learn to live with the chromatic aberrations that are practically always present (just a touch to remove them). Maybe that's why the price is a little too high due to the competition.
