In the last stage of my review process for the Zeiss I tried the manual focus Sonnar 135mm on the EOS M mirrorless camera. It’s a slightly different process, requiring you to really watch focus on the screen (no focus peaking on the M, unfortunately). It makes for a 216mm equivalent focal length on the M. It proved to a be a beautiful performer in this application, too, despite the somewhat awkward weight imbalance. This shot celebrates the rhapsody of nature, the soft beauty of the season. Enjoy!
