Zeiss Ikon 85mm f/1.4 Planar T* ZK Manual Focus Lens is short telephoto classic portrait focal length which is further enhanced by the long barrel rotation for precise control of the focus point in the image. The Planar T* 14/85 is optimized for medium to longer distances and provides distortion-free performance which only improves as the lens is stopped down. The fast f/1.4 aperture is very useful for creatively controlling the depth of field and the nearly circular diaphragm creates a pleasing 'bokeh' in the out-of-focus areas. The Planar T* 14/85 is available with the F bayonet (ZF) and K bayonet (ZK) lens mounts and is designed for use with full-frame SLR and DSLR cameras. Combined with a DSLR with a 1.5 crop factor the lens becomes a focal length of 128 mm.
- Its shallow depth of field at wide apertures allows the use of selective focus to emphasize the primary subject by defocusing the background
- The 9-blade circular aperture produces a smooth and natural rendition of defocused images as well as nearly circular shapes of point sources of light
- Geometrical distortion is imperceptibly low allowing high quality documentation photographs both analog and digital
