p.1 #15 · p.1 #15 · Zeiss ZA85 1.4 vs G Master - image quality differences? | |
I had and used the ZA 85mm lens quite a bit 3 years ago. Yes, the CA was there at wide open or close to wide open but it is negligible at f/2 and only if you look for it. I moved on to the Batis 85mm not because of that but for the noiseless AF and the convenience of being able to get more AF features. I bought the GM 85mm later on when it became available.
Since I enjoy portrait photography and I do a fair amount of that, I do have and keep both native FE lenses and love both for what they are. For portraits, in a studio or outdoors locally, I use the GM lens; I love its rendition at wider aperture settings. For portraits outdoors, landscape and travel, I use the Batis. To me they are different enough to justify owning both, but that's me.
Here are a few images taken with the ZA 85mm; really, you cannot complain about the IQ coming off that lens, IMHO. FYI, the ZA uses a fairly noisy screw drive AF motor....
