An excellent portrait lens for babies, as flashing lights are not allowed...

The subject pops out of the image (the Zeiss 3D pop effect is the strongest with this specific lens), with realistic, sweet colors without any special settings and without editing. You'll be "wow" with the image right out of the camera. This is not a landscape lens, and the manual focus doesn't make it a general scene lens for today's world. But it is, if not the best, at least among the 3 best portrait lens in the world of photography.

Nice piece of glass - not for the casual user. Takes some learning. A good split prism focus screen is a help

I purchased this product for portraits and landscapes mainly. It is a beautiful looking lens, but the output is amazing. Color rendering is bright and actually "gives life" to subjects. The lens captures something more, in color, sharpness and rendering. This is hard to explain and better described in pictures, a few of which are attached. The focal plane is razor thin a large apertures, so be sure you are in focus, even a small difference can make one eye in focus and the other way out. So chose your apertures carefully. It's heavy and manual focus, but you can take action pictures by pre-focusing and careful panning.

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.

This is probably as sharp as it gets. It is a wonderful lens. It is built to last at least 50 years. The best lens I've ever had so far. If you can get it buy it, in 20 years you will still be using it.

KQSW Productions, LLC, does video, mainly. For obvious reasons we went with 5D DSLRS. Needed the best primes, so Zeiss was IT! This 85mm completed the set. Heavy physically, but great images. Only Canon lens we like is the 70-200mm... Having primes means when Canon upgrades their bodies, our lens set will stil be perfect!

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.
