Comment:

The Otus family keeps growing, literally. Significantly larger and heavier than its already quite imposing siblings, the latest member of Zeiss' line of high-end primes will rarely go unnoticed. While it doesn't set any new records, it is one of the most impressive lenses we've ever had in the lab. But you don't need a test bench to appreciate this lens. Simply putting it on a high resolution camera, taking a couple of random shots at f/1.4 and checking the images out 1:1 on the camera screen will change your view on wide angle lenses. It's quite a weird experience and goes to show how much we've become accustomed to compromising when it comes to optical performance at the wide end. The newest member of the Otus family is setting a new standard in image quality for 135 format landscape and architecture photography. Our new #1 in the wide prime category. Highly recommended.
