Reviewer score 81%The Zeiss Batis 135mm is delivering an excellent sharpness at F2.8 that still increase a little bit at F4. It is a superb tool for portraiture, quite small compared to the 70-200 GM and much more lightweight. If like me, you love prime lens and you mainly do portraits, this is an ideal lens.
