Digital camera reviews of Zeiss 50mm f/1.4 Planar T* ZF.2 Series Manual Focus Lens for the Nikon F (AI-S) Bayonet SLR System.

Digital camera Review: Extraordinary
Summary: 5 Stars

I got this lens since a couple of months, and I've shot an important amount of pictures using it, and the only thing I can say is that the optics is extraordinary. It takes some time to get comfortable doing manual focusing -not an autofocus capable lens on nikon- but once you get used... OMG. The construction is solid and well finished. One of my best lenses.

Summary of Zeiss 50mm f/1.4 Planar T* ZF.2 Series Manual Focus Lens for the Nikon F (AI-S) Bayonet SLR System.

The ZEISS ZF.2 with F bayonet for digital SLRs. Thanks to its electronic interface (CPU), these new ZEISS lenses support all-important operations such as the automatic exposure for shutter priority, aperture priority and program modes. The CPU also supports manual exposure settings, including those for camera casings that are not AI-compatible. Since the lens now transmits the EXIF data such as manufacturer, date, metering system and exposure settings, photographers no longer need to set the parameters manually. These quicker and faster handling capabilities of the ZF.2 lenses are especially useful under hectic shooting conditions. ZEISS lenses truly come into their own in situations that demand extreme photographic creativity and maximum image quality. Carl Zeiss' fixed focal length lenses are known for their high light sensitivity and precise manual handling, leaving the photographer in full control. The new ZF.2 series will be especially interesting for photo enthusiasts who value creative, high-quality images combined with the comfort of automatic settings.
