Review on Lens Zeiss Otus 1.4/55 ZF.2 by Somsak Pasalae ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, not disappointed.

My review is not another review of the product, but only a subjective opinion based on user experience. The shortcomings listed above, coupled with the fabulous price, make this lens extremely specific. They can't make a report. They can’t shoot children or just dynamic scenes. They can’t take a portrait (not because “half-a-half is not a portrait,” and the model simply won’t wait until you focus). It makes no sense for them to shoot a landscape - the angle is too narrow, and on a covered aperture, the picture will be slightly better than the same 14-24 2.8. In general, the main strong point of this lens is an open aperture, and the native element is a studio, a still life, a subject, or some other kind of unhurried and thoughtful shooting.

Pros
  • Uncompromising image quality: razor-sharpness at an open aperture, magical plasticity of the picture, juicy color reproduction. You can endlessly shower it with epithets, if not for a series of "buts".
Cons
  • 1. Lack of autofocus 2. No vibration suppression system 3. Lack of dust / moisture protection 4. The rubber lining of the focus ring quickly peels off and loses its appearance.
