I was lucky to get the new Zeiss Milvus 25/1.4 for a few hours to try on my Sony A7 MII camera. Using Novoflex adapter, I made a few shots in the field. For the in-depth review, this lens should be tested on the native mount camera (Canon or Nikon), but this short experience helped…
Introduction We were lucky to get Batis 135/2.8 for testing, prior to its official release. This comes at the cost however, since we had lens for less than 5 days, and we usually need three weeks for the full comparative review. Batis 135/2.8 is one of the most anticipated lenses in the first half of…
Introduction I got a chance to compare few 85mm lenses on my Sony A7II and A7r cameras. This comparative review took much more time to complete than I expected and meanwhile another two interesting rivals hit the market - new Sigma 85/1.4 Art and Sony FE 85/1.8. While Sigma is rather DSLR designed lens, Sony…
I already published Loxia 85/2.4 hands-on in the Photokina coverage article, but it deserves its dedicated space, so here it is, slightly reorganized and with some new content. I had a short interview with Mr. Cristophe Casenave, senior product manager in Zeiss and expert on weather sealing. VBL:Aren't you afraid that Batis and Loxia are…
During our reviews of Zeiss Loxia 21/2.8 and Zeiss Batis 18/2.8, we mentioned several times also Batis 25/2. It was about the time, to give it its own review space and to take a deeper look on its performance. Let’s start with Technical specification (all data belongs to Zeiss a.g. - original link: http://www.zeiss.com/camera-lenses/en_de/camera_lenses/batis/batis225.html) Technical…
To make a complex review as we like to do here, we need to have lens for at least 3 weeks, ideally for much longer. When the new gear comes however, producers can't give as testing samples for so long, thus we can either lower the quality of our tests or wait until it become…
Good news for video makers who love Zeiss lenses. Zeiss is introducing set of gear focus rings for Otus, Milvus and Loxia lenses. On top of that Otus and Loxia lenses can be purchased as a set in a top notch carrying case that will protect them on location. Here is related announcement with the…
During testing of three Zeiss 85mm lenses - http://www.verybiglobo.com/zeiss-milvus-851-4-vs-zeiss-otus-851-4-vs-zeiss-planar-851-4-comparative-lens-review-2/2/ we spent some time with their 50(55)mm versions too. Large portion of our findings from already mentioned - 85mm review, can be simply copy pasted here, with exception of Milvus 55/1.4 bokeh, which does show some onion ring effect, because it have aspherical element in its…
Zeiss Loxia 21/2.8 just started to reach its customers. While there is lot of complains about delivery shortage, I was happy to grab one of those beauties soon enough to be motivated to write a post about it. In my previous Loxia 21/2.8 announcement article - Zeiss Loxia 21mm f/2.8, another good reason to go…
We finally made it! It took us over 2 months to complete and organize all images for this comparative review. I would like to thanks following people for their unselfish help and support in making it possible: Ales Mejdrech - Carl Zeiss s r.o. - camera lens marketing and sales manager for the Czech Republic.…
