[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 742526, member: 13076"] Got the Zeiss Otus 55mm f1.4 in the mail today :D ....I wouldn't want to spend so much on the lens new, and wasn't even planning to get one (I thought I would save for the 85mm) but this was actually an insanely good deal, so much so that I was surprised I won the auction. The focus is ultra smooth and test shots were certainly confirming its known optical benefits. I have the Sigma 50mm Art as well as the Sigma 105mm Art lens, so it will be interesting to do my own comparison of these lenses in similar conditions. Why it's of interest to me is because DxO Mark shows the Sigma 85mm being #1 with the Zeiss Otus 55mm at #2, but they never tested the Sigma 105mm f1.4 Art, so I would like to see where it sits in that hierarchy. Also, they tested Sigma 85mm and Otus 55mm with a Nikon D800E and I'll be testing it (just by eye) with the Nikon D850. Sorry for the bad quality photos... just quick iphone shots of it.
