Comments about Zeiss Zeiss 1.4/50mm Planar T* ZE Series Lens for Canon EOS Cameras:
The fit and finish on this lens is fantastic, it feels like good camera lenses used to feel. There is no plastic on the outside of the lens at all, and probably none on the inside judging by how this little jem weighs. Manual focusing with this is no problem, it really needs a focusing screen with some sort of a assist like a microprism etc... though. The focusing ring is very smooth with no slop or inconsistencies in it's motion.
If this lense is used correctly, it is wonderfully sharp and renders images very naturally and beautifully, in a way that alot of other 50mm lenses I've used don't. Alot of people trash this lense for "not being sharp wide open"-this lense isn't meant to be used for making perfect reproductions of newspapers and test charts but rather to make beautiful images.

Is the best Lens i ever had. I'm using Canon 5d MKII and it gives incredible bokeh and movies in low light are awesome

Comments about Zeiss Zeiss 1.4/50mm Planar T* ZE Series Lens for Canon EOS Cameras:
Great quality lens, but too heavy for my own usage and does not permit auto-focusing with Canon EOS 40D camera.
