Sony 85 mm F1.4 ZA Planar T* (SAL-85F14Z)

Zitat: The Zeiss Planar T* 85mm f/1.4 ZA remains a very good lens on the NEX 7. However, even the mighty Zeiss isn´t perfect anymore on the 24 megapixel sensor. At max. aperture the center performance is certainly very good but the border quality is a bit lower than expected. This is somewhat surprising considering the fairly big lens to sensor distance due to the required adapter. The decrease in border quality either relates to a difficult sensor characteristic or, possibly, to a sub-optimal sample of the lens. Regarding the typical applications at max. aperture the border qualities are not overly relevant anyway. Starting at f/2 the delivered quality is also pretty impressive across the frame. The vignetting at max. aperture is somewhat on the high side on the NEX 7. Distortion and lateral CAs are basically non-issues from a field perspective. The quality of the bokeh is generally smooth and buttery but bokeh fringing is very pronounced at large aperture settings. That´s a fate the Zeiss shares with comparable lenses such as the Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 USM L. Thanks to an all-metal body the lens feels very solid. If you´re nit-picky you may criticize the focus ring which shows a little play when changing the focus direction. The AF speed (via EA-LA2) is fine although nothing to rave about. At around 1400EUR/US$ the Zeiss ZA 85mm f/1.4 isn´t cheap for sure but definitely worth it considering its optical qualities. The handling is quite fine on the Sony NEX when using the EA-LA2 although the positioning of its mirrorbox (on the adapter) is less than perfect. However, the size advantage of the NEX system is certainly gone in any case so the Zeiss lens may not be an obvious choice here.

Zitat: Zalety: bardzo solidna obudowa i wysoka jakosc wykonania, bardzo dobra jakosc obrazu zarówno w centrum kadru jak i na jego brzegu, znikoma aberracja chromatyczna, zerowa dystorsja, mala koma, niewielkie i szybko malejace przy przymykaniu przyslony winietowanie, bardzo dobra praca pod ostre swiatlo. Wady: fatalna praca autofokusa, troche za duzy astygmatyzm, astronomiczna cena. Tego obiektywu nie sposób nie oceniac poprzez pryzmat jego ceny. Od staloogniskowej portretówki za prawie 5000 zl wymaga
