Zeiss Lenses Not yet tested Lens Review Navigate
lens is lacking quite a bit of that
The image above was shot and overexposed by two stops
distortion tends to go down quite a bit
details in Adobe Lightroom 5 then added some extra contrast
Zeiss didn't put that on this lens
Macro Mode is enabled
The lens is fairly dense
the lens was very hit and miss
tendency to focus on the background
the lens becomes extremely slow to focus
the lens seemed to have intelligence as crazy as that sounds
The lens also has no focus limiter switch
