I'm considering the ZE 85. I've been reading the reviews and stated opinions of all the Zeiss Zx lenses here for a while. It appears that most all determinations are based on tests at larger apertures, or wide open, and state that performance increased at smaller apertures. I take it to mean that many of the 'issues' that folks have with these lenses is only at the wider apertures. I usually shoot between f8 and f16 sometimes going to full stopdown (landscape, architecture, etc.). Am I to expect better results than so many tests have shown at my preferred apertures? I've never seen a review of a lens set to f11 or f16....Show more →
Jeffrey, I use a ZE 85, not because it is a f:1.4 lens, as I never use it wide open, but because of its drawing style, which is much more important for me than its absolute level of sharpness (copyright@Makten). Although in my experience, it peaks at f:8.0 rather than stopped down even more.
