The Zeiss Batis lenses deliver first class results in the field. I’m really enjoying them, and dang is the 85/1.8 razor sharp. And the Batis 25mm f/2 may have no peer in the 24/25mm range (it’s feeling that way in the image quality it’s delivering).

The blurred water comes by using the Breakthrough Photography 6-stop X3 ND filter. I made no adjustment for color; the filter is terrific in maintaining neutrality.
