Every once in a while I run across a piece of photography equipment that makes me go wow. A while ago I tested the Zeiss Makro-Planar T* 100mm f/2 ZF.2 and I was in awe. The Zeiss 55mm f/1.4 Distagon made me go wow x 2. The lens was designed to take advantage of the high end and high megapixel sensor found in the Nikon D800 and D800E; though the company will also make the lens for Canon EF mount as well. I got to look through it with the D700. While I am not allowed to show the few images I got with the lens due to it being a pre-production model, I was extremely impressed with how it performed.
