    Non-AF ..... Nonissue

    If you can manually focus a lens, the results cannot be rivaled. These lenses(I have multiple in different lengths) are the best. Period. If sharpness, bokeh and build quality are important to you...

  • Excellent Portrait Lens

    I love being able to use this superb Carl Zeiss short telephoto lens on my Canon EOS digital bodies. When used on the cropped sensor of Canon's 10D, it works great as a portrait lens. With the maximum aperture of f/1.4, I can handhold in low light situations and the "bokeh" is beautiful. I use the type of lens mount adapter with a "focus assist" chip installed on it (which I purchased on eBay) to help with the manual focus lens. As I turn the lens focus ring, the lights inside the viewfinder light up when in focus. There is also the focus assist beep function on the Canon DSLR cameras as well. I've owned several Carl Zeiss lenses over the years and this one is as good as they get.

  • Not for the faint-hearted, but wonderful when mastered.

    The 85mm market is crowded with Canon. Canon has their 85mm f/1.8 (excellent quality and value!), their uber-expensive f/1.2, as well as Sigma f/1.4 models from Sigma, Samyang and Zeiss. Between the Canon's is the Sigma with a fair price and the Samyang appeals to the budget market due to its manual aperture and focus ring (no electronics). The Zeiss sits between the Canon 1.2 and the Sigma in terms of price, which is weird because it is manual focus only. It also has the oldest and most simple design of the lot. But for the money, it is a beautiful looking lens and very solid. There is no plastic or rubber, it's all metal and glass. This is a lens for two purposes. At long distances, it is quite sharp, very contrasty and when stopped down, very sharp - perfect for a compressed ...

  • Expensive and heavy, but worth every penny and kilogram

    Every aperture of this lens has its own character. This is a two-edged sword. It is a lot more fun to explore this lens and try out its different capabilities, but the downside is you have to spend time with it to use it effectively. I am still not quite there yet. The lens is large (with 82mm filter) and heavy (almost 1kg). It is an improvement over the manual focus version in close-focusing performance. In my comments below on optical quality, I will focus on close-focusing performance. Autofocus is swift and noise level is moderate. Focusing ring is wide and smooth. At f/1.4, there is some CA (chromatic abberation). This should not be a concern because you won't be able to find a lens which is perfect at f/1.4. Accurate focusing will mitigate CA as the CA is in the areas just ...
