Carl Zeiss will exhibit at photokina in Cologne, the world’s leading trade fair for imaging technology, from September 18-23 at stand B011 in hall 2.1. The new lens offers outstanding clarity of detail, high contrast and high resolution at any aperture. This mix of attributes makes it the perfect choice for portraits in advertising, fashion and lifestyle, as well as for landscape and reportage photography. It is relatively compact for a telephoto lens. Its image resolution and quality are outstanding, and there is a touch of magic in the way the light is refracted by the lens elements. I took some amazing photos, including some in poor light conditions.”. A special variable arrangement of the lens elements delivers excellent images over the entire focusing range, from 0.8 meters to infinity. The compact telephoto lens features eleven elements in eight groups. Because this lens is an apochromat, chromatic abberations (axial chromatic abberations) are corrected with elements of special glass materials with anomalous partial dispersion. The chromatic aberrations are therefore significantly below the defined limits. Bright-dark transitions in the image, and especially highlights, are reproduced almost completely free of color artifacts. It will be available with F bayonet (ZF.2) and with EF bayonet (ZE). The resolution on the lens and canera are almost identical.http://alitosi.com/userfiles/cuisinart-wine-fridge-manual.xml

Like 0 Nov 20, 2015 permalink Kuroneku To those who are judging a lens that they don't even own: This lens is pure Magic. Some people argue that Manual Focus is an issue, but let me tell you.The Sharpness you get with this lens is incredible. Besides, the Bokeh is fabulous!!!! The fact that it is 135mm will also bring fresh air into your Photography, because you will be looking at Subjects much differently. I was wrong! I fell in love after I got the hang of it. I must note, it does take some patience to figure it out. Electronic Shutter Curtain is advised for this focal length, and Mirror-Up if your Shutter Speed is not fast. A Nikon D810 is perfect with this lens. Like 0 Nov 4, 2014 permalink DocOnTheSpot Orgasmic.looks like I will have to buy it DXO Mark right up there 42.( meaning of life ) and the Resolution is 35 MP. Now suck on that! lol Like 0 Nov 20, 2015 permalink jamesmdo I have mine now, and its a stunning lens.Like 0 Nov 6, 2012 permalink abi170845 another new lens. I can't even find 15mm for my canon. Like 0 Sep 12, 2012 permalink Timothy Stark Missing the point. But the don't offer what CZ does in this case; colour that matches all the other lenses in their line-up. I think that with a lens designed for MF a cinematographer who already uses other CZ lenses will welcome this as a great addition to the line. Some photographers prefer MF for some applications. I can see why this lens will appeal to some people. I'm sure that there is always room for (in this case minor improvements) over a lens designed in the mid 90's with new technology. It just isn't for everyone, in the same way that a Ferrari 458 isn't for everyone. Like 1 Sep 11, 2012 permalink Jun2 People are so caught up 2X price tag of Canon and Nikon. As far as I know, if Canon update 135mm, the price will be near 2X of current price.http://droneducational.com/admin/userfiles/cuisinart-wine-cellar-6-bottle-instruction-manual(1).xmlLike 1 Sep 10, 2012 permalink Jun2 The point is that if one design a new lens and set up manufacturing process, the cost of doing that is much more expensive today than 10-15 years ago in dollar amount (dollar is considerably weaker than 10-15 years ago). They will charge accordingly. Like 0 Jun 22, 2013 permalink Photogaz Are they having a laugh. Who is going to buy this lens when the alternatives are stunningly sharp, have auto focus and are half the price. Like 1 Sep 9, 2012 permalink theninth Will be interesting to see how this lens fares on the market. So what is left for the Zeiss is build quality and handling and I am sure for some who don't need AF this is worth the money. I can only agree with you.Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton !!! Like 1 Sep 9, 2012 permalink parkmcgraw In place of optical challenges typical of HD cinema or daytime photography, this lens having 11 elements in 8 groups, would like to see a series of very demanding full field of view, full aperture astrophotos taken with this assembly. Imaging stellar regions such as the dark background field star cluster Coma Berenices, areas with both bright and faint nebula such as the constellation Orion with Barnard’s Loop, dense star fields with a multitude of colors much like the Rho Ophiuchus nebula region, the Large Magellanic Cloud, ending with flair challenging images with a bright object placed in the corner of the field of view (FOV), set in a dark sky environment, e.g. Venus and the winter Milky Way.So the lack of manual focus in most wide angle lenses is understandable, mostly because even wide open those lenses produces very wide depth of field, so as the working distances for most of the macro lenses can allows for a precise manual focusing. Once you have a portrait lens and a subject in a distance of more than few meters, then the manual focusing can become a real challenge for many, except if you have installed one of those precision Matte Focusing Screens. Like 3 Sep 8, 2012 permalink Light Pilgrim sorry.a magnificent lens? Have you seen it, did you hold it. Did you attach it to your camera and took it to a photo shoot. Did you come back with amazing images that you want to share and explain why this lens is so special and.It seems to be a focal length and aperture that is commonly the sharpest of lens available. Like 1 Sep 8, 2012 permalink slncezgsi It actually IS a great lens - I had in in hand briefly and talked to Zeiss guys. It performs incredibly wide open. There is a reason why it has 'APO' in it's name - there are practically no uncorrected chromatic aberrations left even wide open. And it focuses down to 0.8m. Do not ask me whether it is better than XY brand. I hope it is, but I have no idea - I am not an SLR shooter:) To get the focus right wide open and close it is indeed important to have a proper focusing screen installed or use live-view. Like 0 Sep 9, 2012 permalink jdrpc Yes, ZEISS. I'm using the discontinued 180mm Voigtlander, but would love to have a Zeiss Tele, with the same quality of the Cine lens. Like 1 Sep 8, 2012 permalink DocOnTheSpot I'm sure Nikon will bring out a good 135 F1.8 However will it match the Carl Zeis F1.8 For resolution.I doubt it. Price might be another thing and it would be AF. They should have asked 5 Gs for it, really. Like 0 Nov 20, 2015 permalink Suave Manual 135's are typically ridiculously good and ridiculously cheap.Their website (lenses.zeiss.com) has none. Maybe it's more about an idea than function. Almost all AF lenses have manual focus as well. (Nikon 1 are the only exception I know of.) Why are people so passionate about such a silly difference. You can take perfectly great pictures using AF and you can do the same with MF. There are challenges to both ways, and I wouldn't necessarily call one easier. I can fix LoCA in post, but I can't add resolution info--I'll pass on this one. I can't seem to find it.https://incentives-sales.com/images/carl-martin-bass-chorus-manual.pdf Never mind, I think it's this one: I wish they had an image taken with D800e at some detailed skyline so we can see the sharpness. Like 1 Sep 8, 2012 permalink Photomonkey In the old days we would go to a camera store with our own camera, talk to a sales person, handle the lens, shoot a few frames (with film) and draw our own conclusions about a lens. Maybe we would even rent it for a couple of days to get a real feel for it. Now we listen to strangers make a pronouncement based on a press release and a single image on the web and wonder if we should take a chance on the lens. What a state of affairs for the manufacturers. Like 3 Sep 8, 2012 permalink DenWil Maybe this lens is not destined for use by amateurs who want cheaper and depend on auto focus. How dare a company not cater to the needs and wants of the huddled masses. Oh that's right, those zooms focus for them. Lol. Like 9 Sep 7, 2012 permalink micahmedia Time is money, why waste it focusing. Like 1 Sep 7, 2012 permalink bossa Why bother looking through the VF when you can look somewhere else. After all, who seriously wants to a lifetime looking through keyholes with lenses on the end of them?;-) It's amazing the number of people that judge an entire area of activity by their own needs and wants. Not everybody is a bloody wedding photographer or backyard sports maestro. How long did people shoot without AF. What? Over 100 years? Zeiss knows its market and the autoprogram, af shooter is not it. Like 3 Sep 7, 2012 permalink Lcky Like 3 Sep 7, 2012 permalink micahmedia Yes, no amazing pictures have been taken with AF. Ever. Like 6 Sep 7, 2012 permalink tojkr Lcky, When you say we are crippled that that is why we use 'auto', I hope you will understand the computer you used is something automated and I hope you are not using your donkey cart to travel. Like 3 Sep 7, 2012 permalink Lcky dear jkr, you've missed the point.It may well prove to be a very fine lens but how does anyone (outside of CZ that is) know how it will actually perform at this stage.On top of that it is far cheaper in comparison. Like 7 Sep 7, 2012 permalink inevitable crafts studio why.What is the point to have an expensive MF lens on a body with a spectacular AF system where you can use AF 135L lens. Both can close-crop face details. Like 2 Sep 7, 2012 permalink inevitable crafts studio i dont know, i have no canon but i would take this over the nikon version for sure its not only optical quality, which i guess(!) is better then the nikon its also the fact that its a manual lens, so there are only the minimum parts thats needed to operate the lens in it. What matters to me is the consistency and ultra IQ and Canon's L lenses are exceptional. I have 5D MKIII which has a spectacular AF system, I take pictures with incredible consistency when it comes to focus accuracy. With Zeiss on 5D MKIII (this body was not designed for MF) you have a problem. So I am sure that I will have more in focus pictures and of a higher quality with 135L on 5D MKIII than other people with this Zeiss on a 5D MKIII. Thus there are many people for which the 135L is not an option. Like 3 Sep 7, 2012 permalink (unknown member) Plus, there's the fact that Zeiss glass blows away Canon L glass. The difference in sharpness, contrast, and distortion isn't even close. I never thought I would thumb my nose at L lenses, but after shooting with them side-by-side, there was no comparison. Like 5 Sep 7, 2012 permalink (unknown member) That still leaves the ZE mount as an investment for which there would be no return. No, the Zeiss will have its own merits as they have always had. A good manual focus lens is still of great value to those who are interested in video, and the Zeiss rendering is always very nice (be it sometimes personal). Like 0 Sep 7, 2012 permalink JackM PeakAction - Maybe if you need to print 24x36 and up. Otherwise. let's see a link to your comparison test. This may be the sharpest 135mm lens, but with no auto focus, it is.just useless except for printing huge posters. Like 2 Sep 7, 2012 permalink Rocker44 I do find it a bit odd that some people down there who have a Canon 135L are saying 'why would they make this lens, how can it get better than the 135L'. Are they suggesting that no one should ever try to make a 135mm lens again. To say something is perfect. Who can afford any of them. You could make one that was cheaper. You could maybe make one that was ever-so-slightly-better at the same price point. But making one that might maybe be ever-so-slightly better at twice the price point is ridiculous. It's not like there's a lack of focal lengths out there to work at, with much more room for improvement. Like 2 Sep 7, 2012 permalink inevitable crafts studio i think its funny that canon shooters even compare their lenses to zeiss.Thx for the link! Like 1 Sep 7, 2012 permalink Hugo808 I used to have a Contax outfit and bitterly regret selling it for Nikon. I really miss that Zeiss glass, IQ was just heart stopping with their best lenses. If only I could afford this beasty. Like 0 Sep 7, 2012 permalink Sad Joe Think Canon wil do a MK2 135 f2 (perhaps f1.8) with IS but their in no rush and it would also be a huge jump in price compared to the current (and excellent ) 135 f2. Difficult to improve when you get to this level. Sorry this will only sell to Zeiss nutballs - then again that's the whole point. Like 1 Sep 7, 2012 permalink HowaboutRAW There's no question that the Zeiss will have better colour. You can look up German Zeiss binoculars or new Leica M lenses to get an idea. As I said one for the Zeiss 'nutballs' - eveyone else stand clear. Like 2 Sep 7, 2012 permalink HowaboutRAW Nikon and Canon can't match Zeiss for colour, and colour is not the same as sharpness. You really need to try to understand the reason these lenses are so respected. This lens is also likely to beat Canon and Nikon for sharpness. Like 0 Sep 7, 2012 permalink (unknown member) But last time you said. Sure to be another fantastic Zeiss lens I can't afford (are these all made by those bad boys at Consina?) just as well it doesn't fit anything I own. Think in a blind real life test they wouldn't be a lot between any of them. Oh yes ! Like 2 Sep 7, 2012 permalink Maji Sad Joe. I think you maybe correct. It maybe difficult, if not impossible to tell the difference between images shot of the same subject under same conditions but with different lens brands. Like 0 Sep 7, 2012 permalink inevitable crafts studio who would try to mount this lens on a walkman or playstation. Guess who's in advantage now.? Like 0 Sep 11, 2012 permalink smokinjay Yes the Canon is a great lens. The Zeiss will draw differently and I'm sure flare will be well handled like all their lenses. If I were an amateur looking for this focal length I would get the Canon. As a pro there is no question I'll buy this, but only after testing it first. The microcontrast on the Zeiss, coma, flare, and the rest of the troublesome things are usually better than all but Leica. Also this lens has a reproduction ratio of 1:4. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Like 0 Sep 7, 2012 permalink HowaboutRAW Just the lenses I've wanted for sometime. Like 1 Sep 7, 2012 permalink peevee1 It seems Germans have not learned about autofocus yet. Well, judging by their car problems, they don't know much about electricity. Like 2 Sep 7, 2012 permalink HowaboutRAW The Leica S2 has AF. Like 1 Sep 7, 2012 permalink smokinjay Zeiss has and still does make AF lenses. They also just announced a new line of af lenses that will be in ef an f mount. Like 1 Sep 7, 2012 permalink brendon1000 Sony Carl Zeiss lenses are all AF lenses. Sure they aren't manufactured by Carl Zeiss but then again neither are the MF Zeiss lenses (Cosina makes them). Like 1 Sep 7, 2012 permalink Sad Joe LOL. As an EX VW Golf owner I know what you mean and have vowed NEVER to buy another new new VW - I love classic VW's and will be out all day tomorrow in a 1968 Bay. As for Zeiss and Leica yes their glass might just (and I mean just) edge it but that's by no means certain. Test charts are one thing - I wonder just how many (how few) of the people posting here could tell which lens has been used to produce an actual print in a blind test - none I suspect. Like 2 Sep 7, 2012 permalink StephanSwiss Well, that's just a bit too much German bashing. But then by looking at your gallery pictures you don't need any German (or rather Cosina Japan) glass anyway. Sorry for this but.what goes around, comes around. Which, BTW, must work forever. People need a high quality lens with better manual AF and aperture ring. Like 0 Mar 22, 2013 permalink D1N0 I have a bokeh monster for that. Cheaper. Like 0 Sep 7, 2012 permalink HowaboutRAW This is a telephoto lens, not really used for bokeh. Like 1 Sep 7, 2012 permalink my username was already taken Excuse my ignorance but what lens does one 'use for bokeh'. Like 0 Sep 7, 2012 permalink D1N0 The bokeh monster is used for its characteristic smooth bokeh and most of the time there is also a subject that is in focus:p look op the Meyer Optik Orestor 135mm F2.8 Like 0 Sep 7, 2012 permalink HowaboutRAW my username was already taken: Smoothly blurred backgrounds, done with say a 50mm 1.4 wide open. You see the longer focal lengths don't allow for good bokeh because dof goes up as the focal length increases no matter the F stop. This is why crowds in the back of football players are often in focus. The photographers are using big zooms that can't blur the background. And inevitable crafts studio: it's telephoto not telefocus. If that were the case people would exclaim over using 200mm F2.0s as portrait lenses. They don't; they choose 1.4 50mms and 1.4 85mm lenses. Both: It's well understood that telephoto lenses flatten images--action movies use this trick. What that means is the background aint real out of focus. CZ's 100mm f2 Makro-Planar is more unique, and makes more sense. But I do not agree that manual focus is that difficult even with current high res DSLRs. Would be better with a proper ground glass screen, but it is not that hard, and, in Nikon's case anyway, the electronic rangefinder is not as useless as some seem to think. I do not find I need Liveview for conistent focus. Like 1 Sep 7, 2012 permalink HowaboutRAW Neither Nikon nor Canon can match Zeiss for colour. Unfortunately I do not get along with EVFs for a bunch of other reasons. At least in my experience. If you mean that a 135mm lens brings out details further away than a 50mm lens that's not the same thing. I wish the selected focus point would light up as well. Like 0 Sep 9, 2012 permalink CFynn Hard sell. Zeiss seem to be doing pretty well selling manual focus ZE and ZF lenses. I expect this one will be no different. The 135L has been probably the best lens I've had from a purely technical perspective. There was nothing I could want more in a 135 prime except maybe IS. Again a silly move by CZ. Your canon is not the same in regard to manual focus, aperture rings. This is cheap alternative to cine lenses, although the distance scale is less stretched out than cine lens but much more than normal lens. Like 0 Sep 7, 2012 permalink qwertyasdf I second your opinion. There is no practical reason to demand a lens sharper than the 135L. I have (tried). Unless you are shooting a statue, it is a disaster. By the way, on the inferior sensor of a 5d-III you will probably not see any difference, you'll need at least a 1Ds-III or -better yet- a D800(e). Like 0 Sep 7, 2012 permalink HowaboutRAW It will be better for colour. Like 2 Sep 7, 2012 permalink Light Pilgrim 90 of people will go this way. Like 1 Sep 7, 2012 permalink JackM I'd wager 99 Like 1 Sep 7, 2012 permalink liquid stereo How do people manual focus. Like 0 Sep 7, 2012 permalink Light Pilgrim very-very hard Like 1 Sep 7, 2012 permalink JackM The wider lenses make more sense for manual focus, because the DOF is deeper. The CZ 21mm is worth considering. Like 1 Sep 7, 2012 permalink smatty Most would probably use live view. Like 0 Sep 7, 2012 permalink Andreas Stuebs BY using 3rd party focussing screens. Just search the Internet. There are times, when manual focussing is actually more reliable than auto-focus. Like 1 Sep 7, 2012 permalink njb311 On the 5DII you could use the EG-S focusing screen, but even the standard screen wasn't so bad. However, with lenses like the Zeiss ZE, focus confirm still works so you can if you want use the AF system to check your manual focus. Or you can use Liveview and zoom. The workflow is little different from using AF, with the focus confirm step happening before you take the photo rather than after when most people using AF seem to. Like 1 Sep 7, 2012 permalink HowaboutRAW liquid stereo: There are electronic focus indicators in Canons and Nikons for these lenses, Pentax too I'd bet. Also with say a D4 you can get a split screen. Like 0 Sep 7, 2012 permalink shigzeo I don't understand this. I do find using a DSLR harder to focus than an SLR, but I do fine with a 180 2,8 AiS even with teleextender attached. You just get used to it. It's very easy in good light, and with bad light, just takes a bit more work. I gave up on Autofocus lenses a long time ago and only have AiS lenses. Overall, they are much easier to use, but I'll admit, that AF lenses on the same camera do give sharper images about 60 of the time. When I'm spot on with MF, it is usually as good, but I'm usually off by a little. No matter though, as there are very few instances when pixel perfect sharpness is necessary. Studio photography is the only time I can think that it is necessary. Like 0 Sep 7, 2012 permalink inevitable crafts studio get a decent camera Like 1 Sep 7, 2012 permalink Light Pilgrim I think these Zeiss lenses are not relevant anymore. They do not work properly with modern DSLRs and Manual Focusing is extremely complex on bodies like 5D MKIII as an example. At twice the price the Zeiss has to work miracles topped with ferry dust to make it worth the premium minus AF ability. But then again, if Canon announces a new 135mm L II, it'll probably go up in price by at least 50 the way Canon has priced it's current upgrades:( Like 3 Sep 7, 2012 permalink shaocaholica How is manual focussing complex. You just turn the focus ring. Like 8 Sep 7, 2012 permalink candleJack MF is complex because the 5D3 doesn't accept specialized focusing screens. So you have to deal with the stock screen which probably has a sensitivity of 2.8making it really hard to spot where the focus plane is for shooting distances longer than 2 meters. Like 0 Sep 7, 2012 permalink njb311 I'm not sure why you think they don't work properly with modern DSLRs. Have you ever actually owned one. I also owned the 135 L and to be honest if I was in the market for a 135mm and the Zeiss was closer in price then, assuming it renders like some other Zeiss lenses, I would probably go for it rather than the Canon. Autofocus is a convenience but the first thing I do is take autofocus off the shutter release and put it somewhere else, so I can do a quick AF to get close and then manually focus for the photo I want to take without the camera interfering. Maybe it depends on your perspective. For my first 20 years of shooting I didn't have AF and focusing has always been a natural action. Quite frankly, manually focusing means you normally have it right first time and there is no need to check focus after. It is far from complex - turn (beautifully weighted) focus ring, job done. I use a manual focus 35mm all the time and love it Like 1 Sep 7, 2012 permalink HowaboutRAW I've had no particular problem using a Zeiss 50mm and a Zeiss 85mm on a D3s and D4. Like 0 Sep 7, 2012 permalink Light Pilgrim njb311, try to use Live View for street photography where you need to react immediately and be able to nail the focus over and over again. I am not talking landscapes and making sure that a full body is in focus, I am talking about having eyes in focus where all you have a 1 sec to react. Like 0 Sep 7, 2012 permalink njb311 Light Pilgrim - on the one hand, how did you manage in the days before AF then. On the other hand, it's fair to say that people should use the right tool for the job. Those that need AF to nail a shot should use it. And given a 50mm manual was my walkaround lens, I did a lot more street shooting at that FL than landscape. If you just meant that the subject had to be in sharp focus, well you really don't need AF for that even with only a second to react, if the manual focus action on the lens is a good one. And that is one of the strengths of Zeiss lenses. Such focusing screens (with split-screen image and microprism collar) are offered by Brightscreen for both camera models. Will pass on any manual focus lense beyong 85mm.135mm manual focus lens, no thanks. Better tell that to those who have published a few of my Zeiss photos. You can stop down a couple of clicks if the composition needs it or to give a bit of margin for error. It's about having the ability to use the tool. And I think that is part of this MF vs AF discussion. People who have never learned and practised MF will find it difficult and then say it's impossible. Those who have will know it is far from impossible. The 5DIII is a particular case where Canon has decided not to make a focusing screen that is better for MF. As Zeiss said in their reply to you though, there is someone else who does. Live view, are you serious, for street.WHAT? Are you even a street photographer, you sure dont sound like one. All I shoot is street, all I use is Zeiss, the other difference is I have pictures.not sure what you have you dont even have a single Zeiss.
