Compared: Sony 85mm f/1.4 GM vs Zeiss Loxia 85mm f/2.4: Portraits at Tenaya Pool
Get Sony 85mm f/1.4 GM and Zeiss Loxia 85mm f/2.4 at B&H Photo, and see my Sony wish list.
This comparison pits the autofocus Sony 85mm f/1.4 GM against the Zeiss Loxia 85mm f/2.4 Sonnar. Rather than compare the autofocus Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 Sonnar to the Sony, I opted for the Loxia, because in my experience it outperforms the Zeiss Batis 85/1.8 at wider apertures.
Discussion included bokeh/blur and general rendering, as well as the practical demands of this kind of shooting and how the results matter, regardless of cause.
