The Zeiss Otus 1.4/28 is a completely manual lens. Fortunately the producers took a proper care of the focus ring – it has a sensible working range and is generally a joy to use. Additionally you are helped by the depth of field scale stretching from f/16 to f/2.8.

The depth of field is a great advantage, making the usage of the tested lens easier than operating the Otus 1.4/55 and the 1.4/85; still, while using this lens you might also want to have a proper focusing screen. Anyway in the case of the 1.4/28 model setting the focus at 20 meters even at the maximum relative aperture means the DOF stretching from 9.5 meters to infinity.
