The cost of the Carl Zeiss Otus 1.4/55 outweighs the price tag of most full-frame cameras and is on par with used foreign cars. But the lens pays off its price completely — it is the best in its class and provides uncompromising image quality.

Sharp as a razor

Half of the lenses in the lens design are elements with anomalous partial dispersion, one of them is also aspherical. The cost of such an optical scheme cannot be a priori low. A sophisticated optical design allows you to almost completely get rid of chromatic aberrations, as well as provide a phenomenal level of sharpness at all apertures. "Sharp as a razor" is the best epithet for Carl Zeiss Otus 1.4/55.

Philosophy

The main feature of the vast majority of Zeiss lenses is the lack of built-in autofocus. On the one hand, this is a drawback, and on the other hand, a whole philosophy that the German brand is actively promoting. Focus will have to be done exclusively manually, i.e. with the help of hands and an eye. In order to ensure that the characteristics do not change when focus at different focal lengths, a special floating element is present in the design of the lens.

Leader

Almost everyone who held the lens in their hands speaks of it with enthusiasm. Yes, it is huge and heavy, but completely metal. Even the hood is made of metal. And in terms of the level of image sharpness, the lens simply has no equal — it is a leader that should be equal to.
