Great Portrait Lens
Great lens for portraits and Headshots. The color and contrast are superb. Much better than canon lenses. It takes more time and patience to focus manually, but the results are clearly worth it. The bokeh is super creamy. A little soft wide open, which is great for portraits. Tad sharp when stoped down if you'd like to use it for landscape. Needless to say that is great for video too.
Beautiful images, great quality.
It´s a great lens for portraits. The image quality is beautiful. The construction is great, and its short in its lenght. It´s very nice for pictures with enough time to focs manually, not an action lens... It would be nice to have the same Zeiss lens with this size, with autofocus for that purpose... But if your ok with manual focus and have a lens to cover that need, it´s worth it.
Under the umbrella of superior quality lenses, the Zeiss 1677838 85mm f/1.4 Planar T* ZE Lens for Canon EF stands out as a remarkable short telephoto lens. This lens, a classic choice for portrait photography, is further enhanced by a long barrel rotation, offering precise control over the focus point in your image.
The Planar T* 1.4/85 lens is specifically optimized for medium to longer distances, ensuring distortion-free performance that only improves as the lens is stopped down. Its fast f/1.4 aperture is a key feature, offering creative control over the depth of field, allowing photographers to create stunning, professional-grade images with ease.
The nearly circular diaphragm of this Zeiss lens contributes to a pleasing 'bokeh' effect in the out-of-focus areas, adding an artistic touch to your photography. When combined with a DSLR with a 1.5 crop factor, the lens effectively becomes a focal length of 128mm, expanding its versatility.
Whether you're capturing stunning headshots, detailed landscapes, or high-quality video, the Zeiss 1677838 85mm f/1.4 Planar T* ZE Lens for Canon EF is a reliable choice, designed to deliver exceptional results for years to come. This lens is not just a piece of equipment, but a long-term investment in your photography journey.

- Geometrical distortion is imperceptibly low, allowing high quality documentation photographs, both analog and digital.
