Re: LensRentals: Planar T* FE 50/1.4 ZA is absolutely superb!
Apparently the Batis 85 has focus shift, but it still opens up to focus, and I haven\'t actually observed any mis-focused shots with it.
The other interesting observation is that Setting Effect On/Off only seems to have an effect in low light and determines whether the aperture is stopped down during framing. The process for AF and shooting is... open up, focus, stop down, fire. With Setting Effect Off, the first step is not necessary because the lens is already wide-open. In bright light, the Setting Effect On/Off has no effect... the lens is stopped down at all times expect to focus when it opens up.
It seems that Setting Effect with the Batis only affects the live display, not the focus behaviour.
