Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)From the start I noticed the attention to detail (inspection card hand signed by Zeiss employee. Didnt get that with my 1600$ 70-200 Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras) The build quality of the lens itself is astounding. Manual focus is hard in general, but especially challenging at minimum focusing distance and f1.4 but its not frustrating. Live view is a big help for focusing but the biggest feature of this lens is that it motivated you to keep shooting and keep practicing. After 20 minutes my manual focusing has already improved. For the price you can buy a Nikon 50 1.4 with autofocus Nikon 50mm f/1.4G SIC SW Prime Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Camerasand have $300 in your pocket but after having owned said lens I eventually sold it and bought the Zeiss. This version of the Zeiss Planar sells for more than the regular ZF version however with this lens you simply lock it in, focus, and shoot.

The ZEISS ZF.2 with F bayonet for digital SLRs. Thanks to its electronic interface (CPU), these ZEISS lenses support all-important operations such as the automatic exposure for shutter priority, aperture priority and program modes. The CPU also supports manual exposure settings, including those for camera casings that are not AI-compatible. Since the lens now transmits the EXIF data such as manufacturer, date, metering system and exposure settings, photographers no longer need to set the parameters manually. These quicker and faster handling capabilities of the ZF.2 lenses are especially useful under hectic shooting conditions.ZEISS lenses truly come into their own in situations that demand extreme photographic creativity and maximum image quality. Carl Zeiss' fixed focal length lenses are known for their high light sensitivity and precise manual handling, leaving the photographer in full control. The new ZF.2 series will be especially interesting for photo enthusiasts who value creative, high-quality images combined with the comfort of automatic settings.
