Review on πŸ“· Zeiss Classic Planar ZF.2 T 1.4/50 Lens for Nikon F-Mount Cameras: A Black Standard Camera Lens for SLR/DSLR Photography (1767825) by En Core ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything about the product satisfied me, the price is perfect.

A wonderful creative lens with a natural pattern, excellent color reproduction predicted by DOF, and quality Japanese workmanship. In a few months, I lost the habit of autofocus (there were only autofocus before) and now focusing takes a fraction of a second. (especially since Nikon has electronic tips in the viewfinder - arrows and an indication of the exact focus). For video, it is generally optimal, thanks to the convenient course of the ring and good aperture.

Pros
  • The first glass that fully satisfied all my needs. It costs 7000 nikon as a staffer - permanently. The portrait lens is great, although you have to "dance" around the model. Architecture is more difficult to shoot - long-distance races or composite shots, but . architecture looks much more interesting after so many body movements - no geometry blockages, and most importantly, endless editing in Photoshop. Circles from blurry light sources are smooth, with 9 soft edges. The price matches the quality, which is a rarity these days.
Cons
  • The lens cap is uncomfortable to put on, especially when wearing a hood
