Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will I lose any of the features on my Sony a7r ii? Is it noisy with using AF or Steady shot?

A: This lens has full functionality when using it with the Sony A7R II, including SteadyShot.

Q: 2. Does anyone have experience using the Zeiss Batis 2.8/135 versus the Zeiss Milvus 2/135 on a Nikon? Is the manual focus as good on the Batis? (arc, fine control, etc.) The Batis lens are so much lighter. I am considering switching from D810 to A7r iii and worried if the quality of the Batis is comparable to the Milvus. TY

A: Because the focus on the Batis is fly-by-wire, and proportional to how quickly you move the focussing ring, it takes a couple of days to get used to how it works. Frustrating for sure at first, but in time I find it is very precise and a pleasure to use compared to most other electronically focussed lenses. My experience previously is with Nikon DSLRs and Zeiss ZF.2 lenses (100 f/2 Makro-Planar is the closest to the 135 Batis). The 135 Batis is exceptional on my A7R3.

Q: 3. AF faster than Sony 70-200 f/.2.8 GM?

A: ZEISS does not measure or publish the auto focus speed for the Batis lenses. The best way to determine if the AF speed is fast enough for your needs is to try the lens yourself. B&H Photo has this lens on display or you can rent the lens through a reputable company and judge yourself.

Q: 5. How does the sharpness/contrast look wide open?

A: You can review the MTF chart for the ZEISS Batis 2.8/135 at the website below.

Q: 7. Are these safe to use on all coated optics, high end Canon EF Zoom lenses and on UV or other filters filters?

A: I agree with Derek G on this, these wipes are not very damp but do you need to? Normally, you do not have to remove dirt like spaghetti sticked on a plate! It's optic and to my experience, the dirt on a lens can be removed very easily. I will add that you might have to finish the cleaning with a very soft microfibre cloth to get a pristine optic.
