Zeiss 85mm f/4 Tele-Tessar T* ZM Manual Focus Lens - Black
A more compact alternative to the 85mm f/2 Sonnar T* is this Zeiss 85mm f/4 Tele-Tessar T* ZM Lens. It is a traveler's dream lens; compressed in size but not in quality. This lens is an excellent choice for taking portraits, capturing details and reportagé.
The Carl Zeiss range of T* ZM-mount lenses offers high standards in terms of performance, reliability and, of course, image quality. You can count on highly advanced flare control for crisp and brilliant images. Virtually zero geometric distortion ensures precise accuracy when reproducing shapes, especially useful when photographing products and architecture.
- 1/3 stop interval click stops allows for exact exposure
- Precise 10 bladed aperture creates pleasing unfocused highlights

Comments about Zeiss 85mm f/4 Tele-Tessar T* ZM Manual Focus Lens - Black:
I wanted a lighter travel 90mm lens as I was leaving the 500g Leica Summicron out of the bag too often.
The Zeiss 85mm lens is just as sharp and contrasty all the way into the edges even open at f/4.
The lens hood is reversible keeping things compact for carrying; only down side is the hood sits in place, but does not lock in place in the reversed position.
