Zeiss Otus 100mm f/1.4 ZF.2

Why we recommend this

The apochromatic Sonnar design incorporates 9 low-dispersion and 1 aspherical element, minimizing color fringing at f/1.4 with Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating. Its anodized metal barrel, 1336g weight, and long manual focus throw provide deliberate, vibration-free control ideal for tripod-based work. This lens is best for portrait and product photographers who will sacrifice autofocus and weather sealing for maximal sharpness across the frame.
