Pros:Optical performance in general except for residual AC TA, blurred beautiful, flawless construction
Cons:AC TA and MF manual portraits impatient on the subject
Opinion:85mm opening to 1.2 are the canon (FD-EF LI, L II EF). As the only alternative, there is only this Zeiss. it is an object produced with a very limited edition: a first batch in 1982 for the 50th anniversary of the Contax and a second lot in 1992 for the 60th. Derives from the lens mount to the film industry. For the avoidance of doubt subio say that is not the same as the Canon. The Zeiss is sharper, including the center, already at F1, 2 and this advantage increases by closing the diaphragm. The zeiss is also very very sharp even at the edges. Compared to the canon, however, manifests a residual AC TA, however correctable in post production. F / 2 and then disappears even that becomes sharp as a macro. This is definitely an exercise in style Zeiss particularly successful from the point of view of optical performance as well, and incredible when you consider the results to the edges in a lens so bright. From this point of view is incomparable. Staying at home Zeiss is more than 1.2 resolvent of 1.4 / 85 closedto F2. What might not like? The 85mm focal length is a portrait and a glass so perfect in this removes the sense of enhancing the center (here often called magic) that lead to the loss of risolvenza and indefiniteness perfiferica that comes with it. So many portraitists likely to go to a boring first class. For the rest of the color rendition is amazing, as well as the morbidezzo of focus, but only for what is not in focus. Compared to the Canon is more natural and more three-dimensional, with a focus clearer, less muddy. The color rendition is softer, with less contrasting lights.
