[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 223391, member: 13076"] This is really interesting to compare the Nikon 85mm 1.4g with the Zeiss 55 1.4 Otus lens: [ATTACH=CONFIG]60471._xfImport[/ATTACH] Same distortion, same vignetting, same light transmission, the Zeiss has only 1 µm less chromatic aberration, but where the Zeiss really shines is in its resolution of 29P-Mpix versus 22P-Mpix on the D800.
