Carl Zeiss Apo-Sonnar T* 135mm f/2 Review

Carl Zeiss Apo-Sonnar T* 135mm f/2 Verdict

There is very little that could be improved with the performance of the optics, or the build quality, or handling of this lens. It is undoubtedly a very, very sharp lens, but then it is also very expensive, especially as it doesn't sport autofocus.

Those who want, or need the absolute best quality glass for their SLR will find this lens appealing, so long as their photography is suited to focusing manually. It's not a lens for everyone, so for the few it does suit, they will struggle to find fault with its performance.
