Get Zeiss Batis at B&H Photo and see my Sony mirrorless wishlist.

Why shoot three similar series and present them all? I like to show that lens behavior is consistent, because it allows planning ahead for the most sharpness with the least stopping down. This series and the two prior speak to that.

Zeiss Batis 40mm f/2 CF Aperture Series: Ascending Aspen

Includes images up to full camera resolution from f/2 through f/9.

This image was shot Oct 26. One day later, a warm front and accompanying gusty winds stripped nearly every last aspen leaf from these trees, which now stand bare and await winter.
