Zeiss 135mm f/2 APO-Sonnar:
As a ~Macro lens at 1:4?

To Guide to Zeiss is added an evaluation of close-range performance at the minimum focusing distance of 1:4. Perhaps this addresses a question from a few readers versus the Zeiss 100mm f/2 Makro-Planar.

Can the Zeiss 135mm f/2 APO-Sonnar substitute for a macro lens at ~ 1:4?
