Zeiss
Otus 85mm f/1.4 ZE for Canon EOS
Portrait-length prime lens
The Zeiss Otus 85mm f/1.4 ZE is an optically superb lens designed for full-frame Canon EF mount DSLRs, and can also be used with APS-C models where it will provide a 136mm equivalent focal length. The fast f/1.4 maximum aperture benefits working in varying lighting conditions and also offers increased control over depth of field. A rounded nine-blade diaphragm produces pleasing out of focus areas.
Featuring an apochromatic design and utilizing the Planar design, this lens uses a series of six anomalous partial dispersion glass elements and one aspherical element to virtually eliminate chromatic and spherical aberrations throughout the aperture range. A floating elements system is also used for consistent performance throughout the focusing range and a Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating has been applied to significantly reduce ghosting and lens flare for improved contrast and colour.
It is a manual focus lens, complemented by a 261° focus ring rotational angle, rubberized focus ring, and an all-metal lens barrel with high-visibility yellow scale markings. An internal focusing mechanism maintains the overall lens length and the front filter thread does not rotate during use, making it simple to use circular polarizers or graduated neutral density filters.
