Pros:Very high optical quality, macro mode. Great versatility
Cons:Size and weight
Opinion:It's the lens with which I have shared many trips and many shots on film. Now on digital it is still able to give me very pleasant images with a sharpness, colors and an enviable contrast, superior to many much newer lenses. The construction is very solid, it is an on touch zoom and has a macro mode, with a minimum focus distance of 26 cm. This mode can be activated by pulling a dial at the bottom focal and is very useful in close-up images, even if it does not reach zoom ratios from real macro. The front lens does not rotate during focus, which is very useful with filters, especially with the polarizer. Too bad you have to spend so much on them given the front diameter is 82 mm. The sharpness is already good at 35 mm at full opening, improves by closing the diaphragm more prominently at the edges rather than in the center. There is, at this focal point, a modest distortion of barrels and a bit of vignette that does not bother much. Sharpness improves with increasing focus. At 135 mm it keeps very high and the bokeh is quite pleasant. The colors and appearance of the images are typically and authentically Zeiss. It is an extremely versatile lens whose only real flaw lies in size and weight. I wouldn't sell it for anything to the world. In my first digital images I came out only with this lens and the 28 Distagon and it was a nice photograph.
