Zeiss Telephoto 85mm f/1.4 ZE Planar T* Manual Focus Lens for Canon EOS

The Planar T* 85mm f/1.4 short telephoto prime lens by Carl Zeiss is a classic portrait focal length which is further enhanced by the long barrel rotation for precise control of the focus point in the image. The 85mm f/ 1.4 Planar T* is optimized for medium to longer distances and provides distortion-free performance, which only improves as the lens is stopped down. The fast f/1.4 aperture is very useful for creatively controlling the depth of field and the nearly circular diaphragm creates a pleasing ﾑbokehﾒ in the out-of-focus areas. The Planar T* 1.4/85 is designed for use with full-frame SLR and DSLR cameras. Combined with a DSLR with a 1.5 crop factor, the lens becomes a focal length of 128 mm.

The manually focusable ZE lenses (for EF mount) feature electronic shutter control and additional electronic contacts to the camera. All existing exposure programs (P, AV, TV, M) and the AF confirmation function of the camera are supported; lens information (focal length and speed) is passed on to the camera. Certain functions that require the use of AF lenses (various scene modes, A-DEP) are partially unavailable.
