Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 Sonnar

In my review of Zeiss Batis in Guide to Mirrorless:

Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 Lens Rendering Series: Aspen Trunks (Sony A7R)

Example images are all up to 24 megapixels in size (with intermediate sizes also).

This series is intended to show lens drawing style (rendering) across the aperture range at close distance. It was chosen for a strong juxtaposition of sharp/unsharp along with background high-key blurs

Both the Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2 Distagon and 85mm f/1.8 Sonnar are must-haves for the serious Sony shooter. I intend to buy my own set along with the new Sony A7R II. I suspect that the Zeiss Batis lenses will be in very high demand just as has been the case with the Zeiss Loxia lenses.
