Pros: it is something different

Cons: maybe a little heavy for f2,8

Opinion: I use this lens with Sony mount on my Nikons z (7 and Ff) , adapter Megadap and it works with full satisfaction. It was the choice between the 70-180 , the 70-200 and this one, I own a Zeiss 135 manual f2 and it was the best glass I ever used, now i appreciate AF and finally I decided to give this Batis chance with an adapter. Bought used for half price and I can only say it surpasses my expectations . The Megadap opens Nikon Z for Zeiss AF and the results are impressive, I now look to find the 18 mm used, also from Zeiss. Concerning the results it is difficult to articulate what is the difference between this glass and let's say Nikon . the 80-200 was simply too heavy and Nikon S lenses are perfect , sharp clean etc, but this Zeiss brings in something more something like how I wanted the picture to look when I took it. Maybe this is not objective or in no way a scientific review, but I use Hasselblad XD, Nikon and Olympus systems and this Zeiss lens on Nikon Zf has quickly become one of my favorites, I would compare the results ( if I may say the way a photo speaks to me) with the Hasselblad xd 80mm witch is outstanding and as expensive. my advice to Nikon users: try it

Pros: The best of Zeiss optical qualities (see opinion below)

Cons: Nothing in particular... the price, of course, but I found it used at a very advantageous price

Opinion: I fell in love with this lens, which is definitely Zeiss in its rendering: excellent definition, high microcontrast, while the three-dimensionality and macrocontrast are there, of course, but in the right measure, and not exasperated and almost unnatural as often happens with Leica lenses. But above all Zeiss is that sense of "cleanliness", "airiness" - you have to put quotation marks on these definitions, they are always impressions, not MTF tests, but they are constant, well-founded impressions. And finally, the always "open", "light" shadows are typically Zeiss. Yet nothing is superficial in the rendering of this lens, on the contrary, it digs and discovers, but with a balanced hand. Used both in photos and videos, the autofocus, however old, does well. In addition, the yield remains high even at close range, not exactly macro but already ideal for small animals, flowers, etc.

Pros: Excellent optical quality, lightweight

Cons: Bulky. High price (but used for purchasing discount Zeiss 500 euros)

Opinion: Used on A7R3. Is one of the very few targets used the image at full aperture is indistinguishable from that obtained with any smaller aperture (up to f. 11, then begin to look at the effects of diffraction). For some the maximum aperture 2.8 can be a limit, but not for my photographic skills. A bit bulky but light, in spite of this the external's building looks great. BC does not exist. In short, I consider it a small masterpiece.
