Review: Fantastic image and build quality - I bought this 50mm lens after looking at alternatives from Canon and Sigma. I'd read mixed reviews about the lens and just how easy it would be going from auto-focus to manual only. Let me say firstly that it's not that hard at all. I purchased an eg-s focusing screen (essential I feel for faster than f2.8 lenses) for my 5D Mkii and have had absolutely no issues in nailing focus even in very low light. Images come into focus very easily through the viewfinder with the precision matte screen and focus assist does give you an blink and a beep which will tells you when the camera thinks the subject is in focus. Image quality is excellent, easily on a par in terms of sharpness with L designation Canon lenses which I normally shoot with and exceeding them in colour rendition. The lens is a little soft from f1.4 up to around f2, but nothing that can't be easily enhanced in post production, which if your dropping £600 on a prime, you're likely to have a workflow in place for sharpening anyway - so it isn't really an issue. Build quality is exceptional, from the smooth focus ring to the bayonet hood, it's a very well made piece of equipment. Some people have said that the bokeh the lens produces is ugly. I think it gives the images produced a slightly retro feel to them, especially when doing black and white stuff. I would recommend this lens for anything from portraits to travel to street photography. Take the plunge, embrace the old-world charm of this lens and revel in some truly fantastic results.
Review: Gorgeous - This is a beautiful lens which produces a softer brighter colour than the standard nikon, but it takes some getting used to being manual focus only.

## Features

- ZEISS T* ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATING: The optical elements of ZEISS lenses feature T* anti-reflective coating on all surfaces and an optical design that guarantees images of superior brilliance at all times, even in unfavorable lighting conditions.
- IDEAL APERTURE WITH NINE BLADES: The nine diaphragm blades and the resulting, virtually circular aperture on ZEISS SLR lenses are crucial to favorable rendition of highlights in the foreground and background.
- EXCELLENT IMAGE QUALITY: ZEISS lenses offer the highest possible standards in terms of performance, reliability, and image quality. You can count on highly advanced flare control for crisp and brilliant images, and virtually zero geometric distortion.
- PRECISE MANUAL FOCUS: Manually focusing a lens means controlling the image result from your fingertips. A good ergonomic design makes all the difference. ZEISS lenses stand out with their large rotation angle which enables precise focusing.
- ELABORATE STRAY LIGHT REDUCTION: We combine various elaborate techniques to reduce unwanted stray light, such as the famous ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating that is applied to all lens element edges to ensure that reflections are prevented from the start.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An awesome lens for those who know how to use it!
*by A***L on 3 August 2012*

This is a beautiful piece of kit - there really isn't anything that can match a Zeiss for build quality. Image quality is a given with Zeiss, who make lenses for some of the most critical applications you can think of, from satellite imaging systems to microscopes used in cutting-edge scientific research - some Hollywood movies are shot through Zeiss lenses! Read any review online and it'll give you a good overview of the technical capabilities of this lens. I'm not a pixel-peeper, so things like edge-to-edge sharpness and minute distortion only visible when photographing black and white grids a of no interest to me. I'm only interested in the character of a lens - what makes it unique. And this lens has character by the bucket load. The legendary '3D effect' that all Zeiss lenses supposedly possess is not a myth, it's very much a reality. It's not just down to the wafer-thin depth of field you can get with a f/1.4 aperture, either. There's just something about this lens that makes an image 'pop' with a warmth and character I've only ever seen in more expensive hand-built lenses, such as Leica. I can't compare with Nikon lenses, but I used to own a host of Canon lenses, including L's. I've since sold them all, and am gradually replacing them with Zeiss primes. Canon's lenses are great, but they lack that character - that 'x' factor I've always looked for - there's something almost clinical about them. The downside is that it takes a great deal of patience and skill to use a heavy, manual-focus, wide-aperture lens like this - it's easy to produce a bad picture. Personally, I found this to be a massive upside, as it made me a better photographer (by orders of magnitude), but I've read negative reviews from photographers who were clearly blaming the lens for their own lack of ability, which I don't think is fair. I sold all of my lenses and bought this one about 18 months ago, and have since taken more than 10,000 photos with it. It's no good for fast action or sports, since it's manual focus, but it's wonderful for landscape, portraits and general walk-around stuff. I deliberately limited myself to a single lens in order to improve my technique, so I know this lens inside out - its limitations and its plentiful strengths. This review isn't based on half an hour out of the box! If you want to become a better photographer, and are looking for something challenging, but ultimately very rewarding, then I can't recommend this lens enough - I'm not exaggerating when I say that it changed my life. If you're a happy snapper, who wants auto-everything, this isn't going to suit you at all - it's just too much hard work! If you shoot planes, sports, or other fast moving subjects, you're best looking elsewhere too. I'd recommend buying the split-prism focussing screen along with this lens, to help you with manual focus, although the LED focus indicators work very well.
