Great review Matt Granger.... That Zeiss 135 mm APO seems fantastic,I will start thinking go for it...well done

You should do a 135mm showdown with the Zeiss APO, Sony 135mm f/1,8 ZA, Samyang 135mm, Canon 135mm L, Leica 135mm f/3,4, and Nikon 135mm.

Devil's advocate here but even the nikon 135 f2.8 ai(s) can be found for under $100 I got one in near mint for $60 so I understand you can't get a commission on those lenses but I stopped your video and facepalmed when you "compared" the zeiss to the 70-200 NIKON.... Really?? The 70-200 has 21! lens elements and is a ZOOM at 2.8 versus versus a 11 glass element Prime Zeis at F2 (double the light intake!) The 135 focal lenght will give you better subject isolation than the 85 odus, so therefore you could also have compared that look with an old nikon tele prime like the 200 F2 or even the 300 F2.8 for the "smooth" blurry background. I guess it's all about which apples and pears you line against the Zeiss, it will never be a lemon but in my mind, there are other lenses in its price class, Sigma 135 1.8 art or the 135 2.8DC or even the 135 Samyang, that could give away better run for the money than the 70-200.

My god, everytime you went between a Zeiss and Nikkor image it made the 70-200 look like a kit lens, comparatively of course. I'd love to see a comparison between the Zeiss 135 and the Nikkor 135 DC. Would be interesting to see if gaining autofocus with the Nikkor looses you much detail and micro-contrast

The difference is remarkable. I see why you love the OTUS so much! It's amazing. And the other Zeiss is fantastic as well! Great stuff Matt

I have the zeiss 21mm distagon and it’s fantastic for landscapes. I guess you have tp use zeiss glass to appreciate what if does. I just purchased the Apo Sonnar 135mm. This thing is absolutely fantastic. Actually this review was the deciding factor in my purchase. Thanks for the great review as I now have this. The images with this on my D750 looks great

Hey Matt great video... Would of loved to of seen the Nikon 85-1.8 compared as the cheap option.. Thanks Matt

You're right about manual focus: it is easier than I thought it would be. I haven't got any of the lenses you were demonstrating, but I find the Nikon 105 mm f2.5 to be a lovely lens.

Wow, reading the comments, I'm alarmed at how many silly people say that a lens is "too sharp to shoot people." Like what?! Some of these people are blowing big bucks on full frame megapixel monsters like the d800/e/810 but want a lens just "soft enough" to hide imperfections. If you want soft images, why in God's name are you buying sensors that resolve "microscopic" level detail? If you want soft, go get a d90 and an old Tamron lens. If not, learn to retouch your subjects' skin. Not that difficult.

Samyang/Rokinon 135mm vs 135 Zeiss.

Good job! I'd like to see a comparison between the Zeiss Milvus 85mm f1.4 and the Zeiss Otus 85mm f1.4!

Matt, if you ever have the chance I would love to see your comparison of the Zeiss 135mm in comparison to the Samyang 135mm f2. This lens is considerably cheaper, but apparently still very good. Thanks

Definitely like this style, I hope you make more like this again! Can you test the new 24-70 VR against the old 24-70 and the Tamron?

Thanks Matt really interesting video.I struggle to handhold longer non-VR primes and get sharp results - could you give your take on getting the best out of these lenses in combination with something like a D810 in terms of ISO, shutter speed, any special focusing technique you use? Cheers

Got both of the Zeiss and they are awsome, you need a Sony A7r2 using evf zoomed in to focus accurately.

I own and use the 135mm f/2 Zeiss, 85mm f/1.4 Nikkor, and 80-200mm f/2.8 Nikkor for portraits. All three produce excellent images.

i own the zeiss with cinemod conversion by duclos. it's absolutely beautiful, however for videography it's essential to use with a tripod since due to the lack of image stabilization.

Matt, I've been watching your videos for the last two weeks - hats off, I've learned more in those two weeks than the last two years. Quick question, could you comment on the APO Planar 135 versus the Milvus 85. The price in the US is now practically the same! Thanks.

Great appreciation for the 135mm!! It may sound a bit loaded, but how about doing 85mm vs. 135mm showdowns of lens producers (Fujifilm, Sony, ...), for which is the better portrait barrel [overall] per mfr.

On Sony a7 series, which one is optically better, the Batis 85 or 135 Apo?

Thanks a lot, Matt! I use this lens with my Sony A7, and manual focusing is a piece of cake. I'm not a pro, but seriously manual focusing is a joy to use. Compared to Samyang 135 f2, they're pretty close in terms of sharpness. However, the skin tone, colors, build quality, bokeh are all better on the Apo.

matt it will be kind of u if u review Zeiss Milvus 85mm F/1.4 ZF.2 Lens for Nikon F mount

I have the Zeiss ZE 85mm for canon. Im getting the Sony A7r II and have an canon adaptor. Should I sell my 85mm and get the Batis 85 or keep my Zeiss ZE?

hi ! I'm planning on getting a tamron 70-200 (G2 version) and a Zeiss milvus 85mm 1.4 . Do you think that would be enought for portraits or should I include the Zeiss milvus 135mm 1.4 or replace the 70-200 with the 135. the only reason I'm thinking about the 70-200 is the versatility as I'll not only be doing portraiture. thank you and great video !!

Hey Mattthe word on the net is that the Rokinon 135 f2 is as good if not better than the 135 f2 APO.... you think you can put these two heads up?thanks for the vids!

i've always thought this was one of your best vids. now that everyone is raving about the Z version of the 70-200, maybe it's time for a new shootout comparison. i'm sure many would love to see how it renders compared to these Zeiss benchmark lenses :-)

Off topic question but which eye cup for the view finder do you use? I"m trying to find a nice one for the D750.

how would the 100mm Milvus compare to the 135mm? I used to own a 100mm Zeiss makros, previous design. I tested 100 Milvus and 135mm both in different shops, not directly together. The Milvus did seem a bit easier to handle, I could be wrong. I plan to use the lense mainly at F4 for portraits - how will the 135 and the 100 compare here? the focal length does not make a huge difference for me, both are fine for portraits.

Hey How about Zeiss 135mm f2 APO vs Samyang 135mm f2? Thanks

Hi Matt - If possible, compare this lens to the 85 mm F1.2.

Great Video...

Hi Matt, thanks for the review. But Rokinon/Samyang 135mm is pretty sharp and even better than Canon 135 L's, so it would be interesting to compare the zeiss and rokinon. Can you make a video for the Rokinon. Haven't seen such a comparison so far! Cheers

I did consider buying the Zeiss 135mm f2 but went for the 85mm Milvus instead. Optically the Milvus has similar sharpness to the 135mm but what put me off the 135mm is that it has more limited use indoors where I might not be able to get framing I would like in a small room. The 135mm is an amazing lens though.

Even viewing this on a smartphone, the quality of the two Zeiss lenses just jumps out of the screen!

+Bruce Bachand I used it on my a99, and it's one of the few lenses I kept when I switched to the A7R2. It really is a remarkable lens too, and the focus is fine with the LA-EA4, although if they make a Batis version, I'd be awfully tempted, even if they make it f/2.

For the 135mm most definitely use MirrorUp mode, and you are guaranteed the SHARPEST images! Combined with a D800/E/810 you will get max image quality edge to edge.

I have the Zeiss APO 135 f/2 and it’s the finest lens I own and use. But for a cheaper option, I have used a Zeiss 150mm Sonnar CF for Hasselblad on a Nikon D850. The results are incredible if you don’t mind shooting in stop-down mode with aperture priority. It truly is comparable to the Zeiss, but of course, it’s yesterday’s $2200 lens. And it shows. I paid $375 for it at National Camera Exchange and it’s in mint condition. Supposedly the 120mm for Hasselblad is even better, so I hear. But the Zeiss 135mm is fantastic, without a doubt.

Hey, Matt, maybe you could say something about old Minolta lenses? People say 28-135/4-4.5 is awesome and I tend to disagree with that. And while we speak about Zeiss 135, how it compares with new Samyang 135?

Street Shooting: forget it! The 135 is a lot easier to Focus, than the 85mm Otus. It depends on what you want to shoot.My next lens is a Nikkon 85mm 1.4/1.8 or 70-200mm/2.8G or a better idea.

Interesting you should engage such a lovely model to test lenses. I love her big eyes. My problem with those expensive high end lenses is the price and manual focus. You need a photoshoot type environment and the model "holding stills " pretty much. I also wonder if you need this kind of sharpness at 1.4. I use a lot of f3.2 or f4 and when I zoom in I can count the eye lashes or skin pores. I guess for many it is the "feel good" that makes them fork out this kind of money for "the best lens there is".

Is this Zeiss 135mm that much better than Samyang 135? Please check out the Samyang 135.

I believe that this video is basically about comparing the 135mm APO to the 85mm Otus ; the Nikkor 70-200 is thrown in for comparison as many viewer of this channel / video may owned or used it ( Plus , it can be zoomed to 135 mm focal length of the APO). Like many other viewers, I would say a prime like the Nikkor 85mm F1.4 would be better lens from the Nikon camp , but then again it's not a Zeiss vs Nikkor or Prime vs Zoom , so the type of Nikkor does not matter . My 2 cents .

Review Zeiss Otus compare the Hasselblad lens.

It's not A P O. It's Apo, like apochromatic.

I have the Zeiss 135/3.5 Sonnar - but the RMC Tokina 135/2.8 is just as good.

this would be awesome: Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 75/1.5 vs Helios 40-2 vs Cyclop H3T-1 vs samyang 85/1.4 vs OTUS Biotar - 1000 USD, Helios - 350 USD, Cyclop - 200 USD... And everybody know how much cost samyang and OTUS :D
