    Overview

    The Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 180mm f/2.8 is a heavy, all-metal lens built like a tank. It delivers crisp sharpness from wide open and excellent contrast, even in low light. The bokeh is creamy and among the best known. Weaknesses include its large size and weight (1350g) and fully manual operation. It suits portrait photographers who appreciate classic rendering and don't mind manual focus.
