Zeiss Batis Series 

Top Rated Gear: Used Zeiss 40mm f/2.0 Batis Series Lens for Sony Full Frame E-mount NEX Cameras E MFR: 2239-137.

Lightweight wide-angle lens, fast autofocus, close focusing distance: with a 40-millimeter fixed focal length, this lens is excellent for the applications of a standard focal length as well as for typical shooting situations with lightweight wide-angle lenses. An all purpose lens that offers outstanding imaging quality, making it ideal for close-ups.  Thanks to its close focusing distance of just 24 centimeters (9.4 inches), combined with its moderate wide-angle imaging the CloseFocus lens (CF) is excellent for a host of different applications. Thanks to its high micro contrast and initial aperture of f/2, it can perfectly depict individual objects. The ZEISS Batis 2/40 CF on the camera ensures you're always ready for the important moments - no matter what comes your way. And if you only want to carry one lens with you, this is the best one for your discerning photographer's eye.  The ZEISS Batis autofocus lenses were specially developed for mirrorless, full-frame sensor cameras from Sony. They have been adapted to work with the camera to form a compact, lightweight system that doesn't compromise on performance. The lenses are fully compatible with all E-mount cameras and offer not only fast, quiet autofocus, but also protection against dust and weather. For creative photography, the innovative OLED display shows the distance and depth of field to ensure the focusing range can always be perfectly set. The high-speed fixed focal lengths of the ZEISS Batis family offer flawless imaging thanks to their completely revamped optical design. The legendary ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating, combined with more than 125 years of experience in lens development and the latest technologies, ensure that every moment captured with a ZEISS Batis lens provides that exceptional ZEISS look.

Zeiss 85mm 1.8 for Sony Full Frame

I read everything I could find on this lens, including: reviews of the lens itself, comparisons to the Sony FE 85mm 1.8, and comparisons to others brands for Sony.  I own the Sony/Zeiss 55 1.8 and the Sony/Zeiss 16-35mm 2.8.  They are both exceptional.  When Adorama offered the Zeiss 85 for $869 on Cyber Monday, I bought the lens.  It is phenomenal.   I believe there are critical qualities to glass beyond sharpness.  The Zeiss lens is sharp and beautifully soft simultaneously.  The color rendition and color contrast is perfect.  The images from Zeiss 85 have that intangible magical quality about them.  Everyone who views the portraits I have shot with this lens is blown away, as am I.  Yes, it is more expensive than other 85s, but it is well worth the price difference.

The Zeiss 85mm 1.8 Is The Best Portrait Lens.  Period.

With so many e-mount lenses on the market it's hard to decide which one is right for you. Well let me tell you, this is a PHENOMENAL lens. I shoot professionally but enjoy street photography on the weekends. I wanted a lens that had a little more reach so I could capture moments without being too close to my subjects. I tried a 70-200 but all that does is draw attention, and ruin moments. That's when I decided on the Zeiss 85mm. 

I took it out of the box, then went on a 4 hour shoot. Uploaded the images and my jaw dropped to the floor. It has beautiful colors, detail, focus, bokeh, depth of field.... it's everything I wanted and more. This lens will be staying on my camera for awhile! I'm in LOVE. If you're looking for a lens in this focal range, I HIGHLY recommend this one!

I didn't expect this lens to be THIS AMAZING.

Like other Zeiss lenses the Batis line has a passionate following and there are so many upsides to this lens:  Colors are saturated, sharpness is corner-to-corner, image quality is simply startling, focus is quick and on-point.  The bottom line is that I have used other third-part lenses on my Sony a7r iii and have either sold them or sent them back.  My base-line has been Zeiss Milvus lenses; which are all manual focus so when I shopped for an auto-focus lens I tried a couple other brands and though the IQ on them was acceptable, it was not on the same level as Zeiss.  This Batis 85mm hits the high notes as well as my Milvus lenses and I am exceptionally pleased to have it in my bag.  This lens is not as heavy as the Milvus' but its construction remains solid. Glad that I own it!

Hits the High Notes!

I repurchased this lens.  Once it was gone, I missed the focal length and it?s clarity.

Great Focal length and sharpness!

Great!

Batis 85mm

It has become my new favorite lens to use. The AF is super fast and it's a light enough lens that you don't feel like it's overwhelming. Highly recommend!

Zeiss 40mm is a MUST BUY

Sharp, fast, great on Sony a7iii
Plus it looks Ike a work of art.

Fantastic lens.

Sony Zeiss 135 f2.8

Installed on the Sony A7Riv it balances well and seems like a natural fit for the high resolution camera. Images are sharp edge to edge even wide open at aperture f1.8. Build quality is excellent as with all Zeiss lenses. I highly recommend the Zeiss Batis 85mm lens.

A perfect lens for the Sony E-mount cameras

The lens compact , quick, easy to pack. Perfect travel lens . Very flexible with regards to landscape portraits for walk , every day pictures. Personally, I primarily shoot with otus and milvus manual lens and this lens is for the carefree moments . The single word to describe lens is that it is fun!

The Carefree Lens

Excellent Optics. Brilliant construction. Look and feel of the lens is impressive.

Exceptional lens quality

Best lens of all time. Versatile. Performance. Light weight.

Best lens of all time

The best wide angle lens for Astrophotography and landscape works.

Brilliant 18mm Landscape lens

Excellent lens!

Bought this to use at weddings and it does not disappoint. Love the close focus ability.

Excellent lens.

Love this lens has been a great addition. I live in a heavily  wooded area and most animals are around at dusk.

Get little lens to have

Beatiful bokeh, supersharp lens. The only thing i gave it 4 stars is because it is a brand new lens but i found a dust or an etch on the glass inside. But i read about it, that it can happen to any copy of new lens as long as it does not affect quality if images its fine with me. I cant wait to bring it with me on our vacation a few months from now!

Fantastic Lens

Exceeded my expectations! I’ve been debating between this one and the 1.4 and I decided to go with this one because I watched a side by side comparison video and I didn’t think the difference was visible enough to spend an extra $ for it. The bokeh is round and beautiful, the lens is sleek and balances well on my a7rii. Super excited about this lens

Exceeded my expectations

The best lens for portrait and I am so glad I bought it.

Fav all time

This is such a beautiful lens in quality and feel. The picture quality is fantastic and very sharp.

Amazing image quality

I love it!

I really like this lens. It is very good, but I wish the package can be sealed with some stamps.

Good stuff

Tested both the Sony 85mm f1.8 and this Batis and I would say they are very very close, but the Batis wins out slightly. Here a quick comparison that basically Echos the reviews:

Same: autofocus - both lenses focus very confidently and quickly on my A7III. Both move between the ends of their focus range very quickly and quietly. i even tested this for fun and counted how often I can focus alternating between close and infinity per minute and it was “within the margin Of error” of my amateur test. 

Almost same: center sharpness and edge sharpness, but Zeiss is just slightly sharper, really just by a tiny bit. 

Zeiss better: warmer/better color rendition and better contrast when you pixel peep (micro contrast is what some people call that I guess). Build quality seems better and it’s built in Japan vs China. Zeiss is also weather resistant, while the Sony isn’t. 

Sony better: slightly smaller and lighter, but not a big enough difference for me to matter. Quite a bit cheaper for almost same performance. Also, the Sony has an assignable Button on the lens. 

Negative in both: both lenses focus approx at the aperture of your exposure, which is only a small problem when you need to use a smaller aperture in low light. No idea why they don’t always open up all the way while focusing, like most lenses do on other systems. You can actually see this happening when you look into the lens while someone takes a picture of you. There might be a technical reason in the Sony system, but it’s not ideal, albeit an isolated issue for most people. I shoot this lens wise open most of the time - that’s what I bought it for. 

Definitely recommended, but the same can be said on the Sony 85mm

Highly recommended

Morden style

Great lens for the price. Pictures are sharp and love the color it produces.

Zeiss 85mm 1.8

So far I love this lens. It’s just as good if not better than any on my Canon L glass. I can’t wait to use it more.

Great portrait lens

Great for lens... no issues, zeiss quality throughout
