I was one of the lucky six\u00a0or seven\u00a0photographers from Romania to get his hands on the first batch of Zeiss Batis 85 mm f\/1.8<\/a><\/strong> delivered to Romania.<\/p>\n

I was in Heaven<\/strong>, now I’m in Hell<\/strong>. Long story short, I’m returning it.<\/p>\n

Let me tell you my story with the Batis 85 mm f\/1.8<\/h1>\n

It is the first lens ever (or actually first photography gear) I buy without prior testing it. The moment I heard about it and learned it’s features and specs, I knew I’ll buy this gem. I even went the route of creating a stock alert at F64<\/a>,\u00a0my local camera gear shop, and as soon as it was available I placed an order and had it on my hands the next day, thanks to the great people there.<\/p>\n

This is the moment we work for<\/em><\/p>\n

It arrived on a very busy period of mine, with lot of image processing to deliver to clients and almost zero time for shooting this baby, so I turned to couple of shots with my “old” and trusty model, my daughter Andreea.<\/p>\n

Bad weather, bad light but lots of willingness to discover the power inside the Batis. Cold autumn days, rain and cloudy skies was something common.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
