Zeiss has been talking about the development of their 55mm f1.4 lens for quite a while. This lens was designed to work with high megapixel full frame DSLR cameras. However, it is also designed to be the absolute best lens ever created. Last year at Photo Plus, we got a personal demo of the lens. And from what we took away, this lens is supposed to perform wide open like other lenses at f4 or 5.6–meaning that the sharpness and more will be absolutely top notch.
When the lens was first announced, it turned a lot of heads due to just to big the claims were.
And for that, you’re paying quite the price. B&H Photo has the lens already available for pre-order at $3,999 for both Canon and Nikon mounts.
The whole story behind the lens is in a video after the jump.
