ZEISS Supreme Prime 100mm T1.5

Color holds neutral and true across the frame, with contrast that reads clean without tipping clinical, resolving fine detail while keeping skin tones natural through the falloff. Wide open at T1.5, separation is decisive and out-of-focus areas render smooth and creamy, the highlights staying round through the iris while flare stays controlled, throwing only a restrained veil when pushed into a hard source. PL mount with a long geared focus throw for precise pulls, and an image circle covering large-format sensors up to 46.3mm. The 100mm sits in portrait territory, where its gentle roll-off and quiet rendering suit close work and isolated subjects that ask for control.
