Zeiss 135mm APO isn't bad for nature
« on: April 01, 2016, 23:19:58 »
At an artificial rain forest, I pressed the Zeiss 135mm APO Sonnar into service.  Not bad on the butterfly, but it was hand-held, and sharpness suffered a bit.  The flower petals on the leaves turned out well.

Great photo! You must have a really good camera.

Yes they did! That is quite sharp and with nice lights/darks.
Is the full-size version also?
I have read somewhere that the 135/APO is as "good as" an Otus w.r.t. sharpness.

Tom, the colors on the butterfly shot are amazing.
