    180mm · f/2.8

    Overview

    The Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 180mm f/2.8 C/Y is a fast, heavy telephoto prime with excellent optics. It offers good sharpness, beautiful bokeh, and no lateral color. Weaknesses include a useless built-in hood and lack of a tripod collar. Build is solid but heavy at over 800g. It suits portrait and low-light photographers who appreciate classic Zeiss rendering and can work with manual focus.
