Zeiss Otus 55mm f/1.4 APO-Distagon Aperture Series: Sprinter in Snowstorm (Nikon D850)
See my Sigma DG HSM Art wishlist.
This series evaluates performance of the Zeiss Otus 55mm f/1.4 APO-Distagon on a medium distance scene from f/1.4 through f/11. Secondary color is of particular interest.
I shot this series in part to validate what I was seeing with the Sigma 40mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art, on the same trip, thus a context over a week so in which I saw both lenses perform to world-class standards. While this is not a comparison, I offer my perspective on the two lenses.
