Reviewer score 87% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Zeiss Otus 85mm f1.4 is one of the most accommodating lenses for the intricacies of manual focus. It has nine rounded aperture blades and the aperture ring has half-stop clicks up to f11. The lens is built like a tank with a fully metal outer barrel, metal innards, and a metal lens hood that fits seamlessly at the lens-front.
Pros
- Sharpness, contrast, resistance against contra light, coma, loCA, coma
- Excellent build quality
- Compact design
Cons
- No manual focus
