Equally ahead, I love this lens! Everything fits here. The sharpness and contrast transfer is masterful. The Bokeh beautifully. Virtually no distortion and very insensitive to backlight. These qualities, the 100 mm lens is very versatile. Offenblendig for portraits and night shots, dimmed for landscape and macro photography. The latter are only up to a magnification ratio of 2: 1 is possible, but at the focal length is not a real limitation. Those who are serious about a 1: 1 mapping thinks, should be better access to a 200mm macro. About the mechanism of Zeiss lenses must not lose many words: Made entirely of metal and precision at the highest level. What better than anything Nikon to offer classes have.
The only real weakness is the lack of autofocus. With moving subjects such as playing kids or animals, it is quickly becoming the Gedultsspiel. In all still subjects focusing with the focus balance the camera works fine.
