Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How would it do as a street lens, portraits, paired with A7R r.?

A: It’s a great all around lens. If I only could take one lens with me it would be the Zeiss Batis 40 mm.

Q: 2. Is this a US version of the lens with US ZEISS warranty?

A: We do not understand the question. There is only one version of the ZEISS Batis 2/40 CF lens produced for sale worldwide. When this lens is purchased from an authorized ZEISS dealer, the standard warranty of 2-years from the date of purchase applies. If the lens is registered after purchase on the ZEISS website, than an additional one-year of warranty is offered.

Q: 3. Can anyone confirm if this lens hood fit batis 40 and 85 mm?. The one from those are horrendously big. Thanks

A: This lens hood is not compatible with the Zeiss Batis 40mm and 85mm lenses.

Q: 5. Is the original Zeiss or aftermarket?

Q: 6. Zeiss admitted an issue with the close focus aperture problem as well as with eye-AF, but as of February 2019 I haven’t heard their follow up response yet. Any word?

A: ZEISS is currently developing a software update that will allow the Batis 2/40 CF to work within a large focus range with a wide-open aperture. The update will be available to download free of charge as of April 2019 from the ZEISS website. We will notify all registered customers about the update via email. Once the update is installed, the ZEISS Batis 2/40 CF will only automatically stop down at preset aperture values between f/2 and f/2.5 at a focus distance of between 24 and 65 centimeters – in extreme cases (minimum object distance) to max. f/2.8. With an aperture value of f/2.8 and up, the aperture will remain unchanged across the entire focus range. What’s more, the update will enhance the focus accuracy when using the camera’s eye AF function.

Q: 7. Can the distance scale be changed from Meters to Feet?

A: Yes, one can change the distance scale from meters to feet on the ZEISS Batis 40mm f/2 CF Lens for Sony E. The camera needs to be in manual focus mode. You would then turn the focusing ring 360 degrees past the minimum focusing distance.

Q: 8. Zeiss color, microcontrast are there?:). There are a smallest lens hood for this lens?

A: Yes, the characteristics of the ZEISS Batis 2/40 CF are what you would expect from a ZEISS camera lens and consistent with the other lenses in the Batis family. The lens shade is included with the lens and is designed specifically for the 40mm FOV. It is reversible for storage.

Q: 9. Eye af was solved with Firmware V2. PhillipReeves reviewrs claim it was not, to many miss shot. Can any day to day user confirm or deny that? Thanks

A: Eye AF was improved, but still noticeably misfocused after the firmware. I sold the lens as a result.

Q: 10. This or the Sigma 40mm 1.4 ?

A: The ZEISS Batis 40mm f/2 CF Lens for Sony E has much better optical quality than the Sigma 40mm f1.4,

[Plastic] Okay, I've only had this lens for a week so far but I can already tell you I'm very pleased with the purchase. For me, the lens is incredibly light, sharp and versatile. And the close focus capability of this lens has not disappointed me. In the absence of any DXOmark tests, I bought this lens based on my experience with the stellar Zeiss Batis 2.8/18. What a great decision. This lens is on the same level of quality. I have GM glass but this Zeiss glass is just incredible. I wish it had it had the lens buttons but that's a minor issue for me. I need that on my 100-400 GM, but not this one. If you're looking for a light lens without ANY compromise on IQ, you will not be disappointed with this lens. When you DXOmark tests this lens, you'll see what I'm talking about. 5

[Bayonet] Could it get any sharper? Great lens 5

[Bayonet] Bought this lens over a year ago and have really enjoyed using it. Great image quality from wide open to stopped down. Early ones may have had some sample variation issues - Zeiss replaced mine for free with better centering. The autofocus also works great in real world situation. There are probably some corner cases where it signals but the internet comments on the subject are overblown. Biggest drawback is that it's a fat lens compared to the Sony 35mm f1.8 but I think this one is sharper when I compared the reviews. Worth the premium for sure. 5

[Bayonet] This is an incredible lens. The bokeh is ridiculously smooth. The quality of the image. For photos and video. Is super sharp, so sharp that it will cut your face off. Is that sharp ;). Portable. Light weight. Love every time I use it. This is my main lens now. Superb macro. Close shots. Oh man yea. 5

[0.175 lb] I bought the 40mm used and it didn't come with the lens hood. The hood looks/fits great! 5

Alexander	23/06/2024
[0.175 lb] This lens is great. It is fast, light, and the close focus ability is really impressive. I have a Sony A9 and was very very impressed with this lens on a recent trip to Hawaii. Nice Bokeh, beautiful color and contrast. Excellent purchase for the $$! 5

[Bayonet] The Zeiss Batis 40mm is a superb lens--great sharpness, contrast colors, bokeh. To me, the 40mm focal length hits the sweet spot--I just like to see the world in 40mm. I usually also carry the Zeiss Batis 25mm for when I need a little wider. The close focus ability really is nice. It is not a true micro, but I have taken great wildflower shots with it. I experimented with backlit situations--this lens shows no ghosting and flaring. This lens is a great performer in every category. Some may say that it is only f/2. If your life depends on shooting at f/1.2 this is not for you. The Zeiss Batis series on purpose were not designed to be the fastest lenses in the market, which is why they are snubbed by many. What you get in return is relatively light-weight, portable yet professional lenses. 5
