4 medium telephotos on the a7II at f/2.8

This is a continuation of the test that started here. In this post, I’ll compare the following lenses:

•  Zeiss 85mm f/1.4 Otus.
• Leica 90mm f/2 Apo Summicron-M ASPH.
• AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 G.
• Tamron SP AF Di 90mm f/2.8 Macro.

at f/2.8.

The center 1:2 crops:

The Summicron and the Otus are close, with the Otus the winner. The Tamron and Nikkor are about the same, and well back.

The corner:

Again, it’s the Otus and the Summicron at the top and neck-and-neck. If I had to break the tie, I’d give it to the Leica. At the back of the pack, the Nikkor barely edges out the Tamron.
