The Otus line from Zeiss represents the [bar none] finest optical performance of any lens commercially available in the world.  This is the second lens from the line that I have reviewed, and what a joy it is to use!  I am sharing first a gallery of images of the lens itself, followed by galleries of processed images and images that are untouched and representative of what comes directly out of the camera.  I will include a few full size samples for you to download towards the end, so be sure to scroll down to the bottom to download those.  You can read my review of the lens here (Zeiss Otus 1.4/55mm review) or watch it here:
