Zeiss 85mm ZE 85mm f/1.4 Review (feat. Canon 85mm f/1.2L)

5:29 This is Brian Peterson saying; -You keep shooting!

I love it when he says "This lens was made for caressing"!

Another exciting adventure of Alamby and her photographers.

5:31 machine gun shop?

I loved it when Alamby made an appearance! Kai is simply amazing, love these shows!!!

What does Kai have against camera straps?

must be really bloody good for filming

I'm way less bored when I shoot with a manual focus lens. I have the Zeiss 35 1.4 and 50 1.4, and they're both great lenses. It's almost like the contrast and bokeh completely make up for the softer images compared to canon. The way they transition from in focus to out of focus areas is completely spectacular. Compared to my 24-70 f4L both Zeiss lenses produce much more pleasing images.

zeiss looks better to my eye. more depth and micro-contrast. plenty sharp enough.

If you had to chose one lens to use on a Sony A77 which one would you choose?

I have heard that Zeiss doesn't put autofocus to its lenses because are made German. But this lens was made in Japan. Why they don't put autofocus like Sigma does?

Merry Christmas, great video as always. Summarize and help me please. I've seen pictures on the internet very weak sony90 color, a little off, but I've been very clear. I have seen the quality Batis 85 a brutal but I see that magic Zeiss micro level contrasts. See 90 more versatile for all, useful for all, I am a lover of the definition, but also the magic Zeiss. Do you think that when shooting portraits with the 90 will miss Batis or definition in the eyes, eyebrows etc … will make me forget about other factors as more creamy bokeh? For this bokeh and I have 35 f1.4 that eats everything In your eyes definition note both? Thank you

How about doing portraits not just walking around with people moving and showing what this lens really can do!

what im against is when canon fans compare canon lens with any other brand, like Zeiss, they are temped to say canon is better.

this lens is for filming more, if you're taking photos it's not worth the money.

ran across the older bb gun channel kai used to work for.. was pretty funny.

did anyone else see the color fringing??

Doohhh this is not a lens for street photography

sorry which one is the best for the image quality? canon 85 f1.2 l series or zeiss 85 f1.4 planar? would u please to help me giving some info,thank u very much

what's that song from 8:54 till the end? 😮

I love your videos but if I have to watch herzhog talk about his master class for 2 minutes for the 8th time in a row I am going to stop watching.

Planar droooooooooooool

If you didn't like the contrast of the " OTUS ", you should try the " Milvus " !

The " MILVUS ". is " T* " coated, the " OTUS ", is NOT !

I noticed that he one you showed, is NOT " T* " COATED..

Fro MY Own Work, I've Found that it Makes a BIG Difference.

If you don't believe me, do a comparison of Hasselblad's Black " T* " coated 80 m lens VS. their Old Chrome 80 mm lens…

You're using a manual focus lens with a standard eye piece, of course you will struggle to pin point your focus point. Even the cameras in-focus dot isn't reliable. I own three Zeiss Distagon Lenses on a D800, had them for years and would never go back to AF. Manual slows you down, you think more about your shot and it makes you a better photographer. This guy hasn't got crisp shots because of his lack of skill, simple as that. He isn't a photographer, he's a technical guru who makes videos on cameras. Very different.

How many cameras have you given to the inscrutable forces of gravity?

sharpness isn't everything

What country is this?

おはようございます。きょうも撮影に行ってきます。皆さん宜しくお願いします。🐖🐖

I bought this lens, and i use it on the Fujifilm X-T2 with a Lens Turbo adapter. It IS the best portrait lens i own right now. Just AMAZING quality…!

He's so naturally funny! Like, where does he come up with this stuff?! Lol Great review.

OMG My beloved Zeiss 85mm ZE 85mm f/1.4 <3

Wow you are really bad at focusing if you want to adapt it just go Sony next time… At least you use focus peaking to help.

Its not an action lenses! Although once you put in a split viewfinder glass then it can be fast very fast.

Zeiss 85 1.4 is crap. The Nikon AIS 85 1.4 is much sharper, has more precise focus and much less throw. It also focusses closer is much cheaper and Pro Nikon Cameras are good for manual focussing with their > 0 <
