Zeiss Batis 135mm f/2.8 is officially released now - Klaus - 04-06-2017 https://www.zeiss.co.uk/camera-lenses/photography/products/batis-lenses/batis-28135.html So 1999$ ... OMG. It's featuring a Zeiss-native IS. Zeiss Batis 135mm f/2.8 is officially released now - JJ_SO - 04-06-2017 You mean, a Cosina developed IS? I love it. Not long ago the marketing blurb about manual focus, not to speak of IS, and why Zeiss has to go this way to deliver "highest quality". I always suspected that to be a cheap excuse not to go into R+D for doing a high quality AF. Asking premium prices for lowmium technology... I wonder, how long the Zeiss reputation keeps people paying more for less. Zeiss Batis 135mm f/2.8 is officially released now - Klaus - 04-06-2017 They say it's APO ... whatever this may mean in Zeiss land (regarding bokeh fringing). Zeiss Batis 135mm f/2.8 is officially released now - JJ_SO - 04-06-2017 Do they really say it is APO? So far they say, it is APO-Sonnar design, this makes sometimes a difference, these specific wordings. I quote myself biut maybe these wording differences are merely academic.

B) $2,000 Hmmm...... APO but only F2.8 surely at that price it should be an F2! Sigma 150mm F2.8 APO shallower DOF....... shallower DOP ........(depth of pocket) and it's a macro! No this Zeiss is the new way of re-hiking the price of lenses, and F2.8 is too small an aperture for a top flight portrait lens. Then there is the newly announced Sigma 135mm F1.8 coming soon.

Zeiss Batis 135mm f/2.8 is officially released now - JJ_SO - 04-06-2017 We're all loosers here. Meyer Görlitz just came up with a Primagon, 24/2.8 (heck what a fasssst glasss) for Fuji X. So we soon can get the first APS-C glass for 5500 $. My goodness, why do they bother me with this cheap chunk? "And suddenly the GFX50S looks like a bargain" said Patrick, the hardcore Fuji fan. :lol: Sorry guys, I need to get a bigger flamethrower, I burn my cash far too slow. Zeiss Batis 135mm f/2.8 is officially released now - Klaus - 04-06-2017 I am wrong, BTW. The 85mm has also a Zeiss IS. And the 135mm does not correct bokeh fringing. I've spotted an image with green halos in the background. Zeiss Batis 135mm f/2.8 is officially released now - davidmanze - 04-07-2017 Quote:I am wrong, BTW. The 85mm has also a Zeiss IS. The girly marriage shot.....the wall behind looks to green fringe a little.... If it's not the image can you post the link? No in fact it's just the border is actually green! |
