Re: The Lord of the L rings- A hobbyist Photographer review

The Zeiss 100mm planar is an awesome lens. I use the 100mmL & I can easily say, the Zeiss wins hands down. Its exceptional as a portrait lens too. All of Zeiss lenses are exceptional including the 85mm f1.4 but the Canon has f1.2 and has slightly better optics.

Manual focus is quite easy once you try a few shots. You will know how much to rotate the focus ring based on the distance from the subject. It turns out instantaneous.

Try a Zeiss. Try its buttery smooth manual focus ring. If not for any other lens, try the same 135mm focal length from Zeiss. The APO Sonnar. Incredible piece of lens it is. No CA. Sharp. Excellent build quality and feels so right in hands.
