Zeiss ZF 25mm f/2.8 for Nikon

Nikon users no longer have to use adapters with Zeiss lenses: superb Zeiss Planar lenses are now made in ZF (Nikon AI-S) mount versions. These are manual focus lenses, although D300 and up will sense the lenses aperture in A mode and adjust exposure accordingly. Why go through the trouble of manually focusing? Well first of all at 25mm length its not much trouble. But more importantly, you get the exceptional Zeiss sharpness, color, and high microcontrast that makes these lenses arguably the best prime lenses in the world.

Please note: This lens is unique in its ability to focus at near macro distances (within two inches of lens). On the other hand, it suffers from poor edge sharpness at all f-stops. So, unless you’re using a crop frame camera, landscape or architectural photography with everything in focus is not possible with this lens. However, for other applications where edge to edge sharpness is not a necessity, such as portraiture, this lens is well equipped.

If you’re interested in finding good reviews of the various ZF lenses, with in-depth analysis of their strengths and weaknesses, we recommend spending a few dollars and getting Lloyd Chambers online review of the ZF lineup
