New Batis 40mm f/2.0 FE lens test by Allan Weitz and Lisa Beaney

Zeiss 40mm f/2.0 CF lens preorder at Adorama and BHphoto.

Allan Weitz (test here) conclusion is:

Though my personal lens preferences lean toward wide-angle lenses, the slightly wide-angle PoV, combined with the 40mm Batis’s ability to focus closer than your typical normal lens, made my time with the Batis 40mm f/2 CF a creatively enjoyable experience.

Lisa Beaney (test here) conclusion is:

From the testing I’ve done this lens is very sharp (not a scientific measurement, just from using it and looking at the images !)
