I got my hands on the Zeiss Batis 135mm f\/2.8<\/a> one day before I’ve received to much acclaimed Sony A9<\/strong> for tests too. In case you haven’t seen my review about the Sony A9, check it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How is the Batis 135mm?<\/h1>\n

After the not so good experience with the previous Batis, the 85mm f\/1.8 (I have returned it, see here<\/a> why), I didn’t have high hopes for this new lens from the series. But oh boy, how wrong was I<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

The construction is very similar to all Batis lenses with its unique flat texture on body and rubbers. In my opinion it’s not the best choice, it looks nice out of the box but then the rubber attracts a lot of dusts and fibre particles, more or less like a sticky pad we use in our cars to hold the phones and glasses in place. This aside, I couldn’t find anything else I didn’t like about this lens \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

Here are some specs in case you don’t know them already:<\/p>\n
