Overall, and judging on the photos shared here, the Batis 40 and the Batis 135 are the outstanding stars. But the other lenses are no slouches either.
I'd have to concur, although I find the 40mm to be used the least between my 25/40/85. I guess it's because if i'm traveling with 2 cameras I either have the 25 and 85 or a long zoom and the 25 or a wide zoom and the 85. The 40 is great for close focus, though!
The 25 is great to replace the wide zoom when I can. It's got that pop that my 16-35 doesn't!
This time Batis 135/2.8 and 85/1.8 were used with 16mm sometimes combined with 10mm Viltrox extension rings.They are very good for close-ups with the rings,yet like other Zeiss lenses in FE mount,they sometimes tend to produce some minor LCA.

Took advantage of my new gear’s animal eye AF and close focusing to get weirdly human portraits of my cats. Jalapeño, the all black cat, gives phones a run for their dynamic range by showing up black blob with eyes. It’s always nice to photograph him well.
