![]() The 85mm through 135mm focal length range (after FOVCF is factored in) is classically considered the ideal portrait focal length range, for reasons including perspective and working distance.Ī 100mm lens hits just under the midpoint of that range on a full frame DSLR with the 160mm angle of view equivalent on an APS-C 1.6x body being a bit narrower and still great for portraiture, especially the tightly-framed varieties.Īn APS-C format DSLR of course requires a longer working distance to get the same framing as a full frame DSLR and therefore will have more depth of field and a less-strongly blurred background at the same aperture. The standout use of the 100mm focal length is for portraits. This makes focal length selection more important and "What is the 100mm focal length good for?" is the pertinent question. Obviously, this is a prime lens with only a single focal length available. Now that I've shared the ending to this review, I'll move into the details. The primary review task is the search for gloating words to use in the description. The Otus image quality is phenomenal and the price is unquestionably high. There is no time consuming (and boring) image stabilization tests to complete and being a manual focus lens, also-very-time-consuming (and often troublesome) autofocus testing is removed from the to-do list. The only moving exterior part is the focus ring and it is buttery smooth with a long throw. They are built like tanks (the military kind - not the fish holding variety) (add this lens to your will because it will probably last longer than you). I love reviewing Zeiss Otus lenses and they are perhaps the easiest of all lenses to review. Zeiss has garnered great respect for the Otus line, representing ultra-high-end image quality merged with ultra-high-end build quality.
