Seven Months on the Road with ZEISS Batis Lenses (Christian Dandyk).

Share

batis_85mm_25mm_zeiss_sony
Zeiss photographer Christian Dandyk had the unqiue chance to test the new Batis lenses for seven months already! He now posted his full review of the lenses at alphafotograf.de.

I have recently been asked several times which of the two Batis lenses I would recommend more. I can’t really answer this question because their areas of application are too different, even if they both feature the same high level of optics. Regardless of where I use them, they have always delivered the impressive results I demand. Photographers tend to quickly try to find fault with something – my search failed and that is a good thing as we like to say in Berlin.

Christian can be seen on the official promo video here:

Jordan:I wanted to test out my A7s while shooting something more legitimate than home videos so I used it for this trailer called The Drone which I directed and released this past week. Thought you might want to pass it on. The first shot (crane) was stock footage, but everything else was in camera on the A7s: http://youtu.be/O1Hhvdpvp5o
Here’s some press about it:
