NEW YORK NEW YORK – I did some further work today understanding the capabilities of the native Sony and Zeiss lenses for the a7rii. Today I considered “bokeh”, the character of the out of focus portions of an image. Here are images taken with my Leica Monchrom with a 50mm “Luxochron” lens, which sets the benchmark for lens performance to my eyes (top), and a Zeiss 50mm f1.4 ZA lens (bottom), which has lovely character both in front of and behind the focus point. In the Zeiss image the out of focus portions are more out of focus because it’s an f1.4, as opposed to the f2.0 Leica. The Leica bokeh is more “jittery” than the Zeiss, which puts in a very strong showing.
