Chad Wadsworth has a chance to tested the new announced Batis 25mm f/2 lens (B&H | Adorama), Batis 85mm f/1.8 lens (B&H | Adorama). The Zeiss Batis lenses haven’t released yet, it will be in stock in July. Similar as diglloyd’s review, Chad Wadsworth also said Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 lens (B&H | Adoramais a must buy lens for Sony FF shooters.

From Chad Wadsworth:

Batis 25mm f/2 Lens:

Where the FE 28mm is in-your-face sharp, the Batis looks a bit smoother, yet zoom in to pixel peep and you will see that there’s a similar level of sharpness and micro contrast. The render of the Batis very much reminds me of the ZA 24mm f/2 but without all the field curvature AF issues that were endemic to that A-mount lens.

I expect that the Batis will be a boon for architecture and interiors photographers.

Batis 85mm f/1.8 Lens:

Focus was quick, sure and accurate. Pixel peeping shows excellent sharpness and detail.

Batis seems to nail it with just the right dimensions, weight and image quality.

After my brief time with the 85mm I am guessing that it will become a must buy for many Alpha shooters.
