I hadn’t shot the Zeiss Otus 85mm f/1.4 APO-Planar for a while, and I caught some images at sunset and dusk a few days ago that reminded me just how good it is.

Includes images up to full camera resolution.

With all the excellent new Sigma and Canon lenses, and while manual focus is a real limitation for some shooting, I still find that nothing beat the Otus 85 in total imaging quality.
