Carl Zeiss Planar T_ 85mm 1.2 Limited edition 60 years LPL Mount

Both its initial aperture and image quality put the 85 mm Carl Zeiss Planar T* f/1.2 lens in a class of its own. Compared with the 85 mm Planar T* f/1.4 lens, the possibility of increasing the aperture to f/1.2 provides the photographer with 40% more light when needed. At full aperture the reduction of depth of field can be used in portrait photography for picture composition. In available light photography, this means that the existing light can be better utilized, and in sports photography faster shutter speeds can be chosen.

Another major advance of this lens is its “floating element” which ensures that the high image quality is retained in close-ups.
