Extreme Contrast & Sharpness

★★★★★

5.0

"For non-macro use w/ D3 on tripod, Zeiss is much sharper and more contrasty than Nikon 105 f/2 DC. At f/2, the difference in sharpness and contrast is so blatant that I now dare NOT shoot the 105 DC wide open.

"I'm a pretty advanced amateur photographer with a Nikon D3 and a D200. I have a special passion for macrophotography and for making the nearly invisible stunningly enormous. This Zeiss 100mm f/2 lens exceeded my expectations as soon as I mounted it on my D3. I exclusively stick with Nikon glass, …" Read Full Review »

"I pick this lens up about a month ago primarily to be used with a 35mm lens adapter, but I have also thrown it on my D300 with jaw dropping results. This lens is absolutely incredible.

"This lens is an entirely different experience from other lenses I use. I like to isolate the subject and often shoot with strong backlighting.
