There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I'm giving you my experience as a person learning how to shoot and use Photoshop from nearly 0/100. At the moment, I'd say I'm 15/100. Got this lens and the Sony A7III about 4 months ago.
When the lens was delivered, I was super excited to finally have a proper set of lenses (25mm, 135mm Batis and a 50mm manual Loxia) to fool around with on an A6300 from my partner's job and the results were great on the APS-C camera. Compared to the kit lens that she brought home from work, the Zeiss had better colors, better low-light performance/less grain, better bokeh due to the larger aperture. We finally got the A7III and I started taking it out everywhere.
But, let me rewind to the moment I got the lens out of the Amazon box.
The packaging feels so premium and protective, I almost want to put the lens back in it every night. Getting the lens out and holding it in my hands left a major impression. I definitely gulped taking it out of the foam. I'd never held a lens that felt this premium in my life and the weight and solid feeling gave me a sense of quality. Compared to the Nikkor lenses we also own, the Zeiss makes me feel as though dropping it would destroy it. Whereas the Nikkor lenses feel like they could take the drop and be fine. Not sure if it's because I know we paid $1000+ vs $500 or the materials or both. The lens hood slips on pretty easily and can take a bump and a fall (oops).
Using the lens was a bit of a challenge at first. I had an idea from reviews and using a telescope I'd need to stand back a decent bit. In tighter spots, like a small museum, home, or studio, it might be a pain to use and a 50mm or maybe 85mm might be a better choice so you can stand closer to the subject. Where this lens works for me is outside. I can shoot gigantic panoramas with the camera setup vertically and grab a lot of the details of buildings. I've shot birds off at a medium range using Super35 mode to get some extra reach and got decent results (a proper telephoto would be better though). Candid, outdoor portraits where you can move around and shoot are pretty amazing. The background melts away in bokeh or dial the aperture down and get a bit more surrounding detail -- it's all very smooth.
Autofocus and auto eye focus is pretty fast (compared to Nikon D5300) and manual focus is decent too, but I wish the ring was more textured. Focus assist and peeking helped me a lot to manually get tack sharp pics with eyes in focus. Can't say I heard any noise from the lens when it was autofocusing at any point.
I can't say for sure if it's worth the price for everyone and it is heavy and yes you would have to stand back more if you're doing portraits, but it is very capable of producing lovely pictures in quite a few scenarios. I'd say skip it if you don't have other, shorter focal length lenses so you can shoot in tighter spaces with less of a hassle. For those that want to do some wildlife, more candid portraits and maybe those crazy detailed panoramas, this is pretty good at those things.

Because of the 70-180 range, I always hesitated in finding a true need for an 85mm prime so I never pulled the trigger on one.
One day, I opened my Amazon app, and saw there was a smoking deal on this lens. It's a Zeiss, and any Sony photographer will always have Zeiss lenses on his or her radar. (apparently Amazon knew that about me) Especially since the 55mm Zeiss is always on my second body (A7C). I didn't think much into it and pulled the trigger on this one.
I've only shot photos around the house, but I can tell you this lens is a step above. If you can afford it, I highly recommend this Lens. The bokeh is incredible. I don't feel it's any less noticeable than the bokeh on my samyang 1.4. Also the Bokeh Balls are rounder than the Samyang's. That was a huge relief since that was something that bothered me from the Samyang. This lens has exceptional quality, and even though i'm not yet sure how much use it will receive considering I have that Tamron, I'm super happy I own this masterpiece of a lens.
keep in mind, all the photos i'm uploading are NOT edited or retouched.

I was debating between a G-Master lens or one of the Sigma lenses: either the 24-70 Art or the 28-70 Contemporary lens, but opted for these Prime Batis lenses after doing tons of research. I currently have the 25mm, this one 40mm, the 85mm and am wanting the 135mm. I am definitely glad I went with these lenses. The Sigma Art and the G-Master maybe super sharp, but the Batis lenses have other characteristics in their image quality in addition to insane sharpness that convinces me that I made the right decision. I do have a couple G Lenses and these Zeiss Batis are still my go-to lenses, especially this 40mm.
There are a lot of people who complain about fringing on these lenses, all I can tell you is that it only happens in the most contrasty scenes when they are wide open at F2 or F1.8, other than that, there is absolutely no fringing at all.
A hugely positive aspect of their color rendering and contrast is the fact that there is very little editing or correcting in LR and PS, leaving me more opportunities for the creative aspects and more opportunities to get out and shoot.
The 3rd photo is a cropped version of the second one, showing the lens' handling of such a high contrast situation along with the starburst effect, taken at F8
Same situation with the 4th and 5th pic showing similar contrasty scene
If you are concerned about carrying around several prime lenses, these lenses are so small and light weight, they are barely noticeable, one of the deal breakers for the Sigma Art lenses and many of the G-Master. All of these Batis lenses are well enough under a pound (except the 135mm which is just around a pound), they really don't feel like anything on the camera. Besides, I am willing to forgo the zoom lenses to go with these due to the truly incredible image quality straight out of camera.

E' una lente che, se si cerca la quasi perfezione e si è orientati a ritrattistica, non ci si può esimere dall'avere.
L'ouverture maximale de f/1,8 permet de capturer des photos nettes même dans des conditions de faible luminosité, ce qui en fait un choix idéal pour les photographes qui travaillent dans des environnements peu éclairés. Le bokeh est également remarquable, offrant des images douces et esthétiquement agréables.
Outre ses performances optiques, j'apprécie également le design élégant et pratique de cet objectif. Le revêtement en caoutchouc résistant aux intempéries offre une bonne adhérence et une sensation agréable en main, tandis que l'écran OLED affiche des informations clés telles que l'ouverture, la distance de mise au point et la profondeur de champ.
Que ce soit pour les portraits, les mariages ou d'autres événements, le Carl Zeiss 85mm/F1.8 Batis est un choix de premier ordre pour les photographes professionnels et les amateurs avertis qui cherchent à obtenir des photos exceptionnelles. Sa performance optique et son design élégant en font un choix à considérer pour tout photographe sérieux.
