Great lens, but hard to focus.

Great feel to the lens, but just couldn't get it to focus right.

this is my second purchase of a zeiss lense,I currently own a 50mm 1.4 lense and I recently purchased the 85mm lense. the dynamics of the lense is incredible,the detail magnificent,the pictures are superb. I will certainly recommend this lense to anyone who is serious about photography.

This short, high-speed tele lens was specifically developed for challenging photography with SLR cameras. It impresses with its bright, clear viewfinder image and guarantees brilliant image quality even at full aperture, making it the ideal tool for both indoor and outdoor portraits. The narrow depth of field at wide aperture permits visual silhouetting of the subject via the targeted use of background blurring.

The special optical design and a diaphragm with nine blades and an almost circular geometry ensure excellent "bokeh" (aesthetic rendition of image areas out of the focus plane). Distortion is practically non-existent. The high speed lens is almost distortion-free, making it ideal for high-quality, analog and digital documentation photos.
