Yes only urls.

One thing I found, while the ZE100 is excellent as a portrait lens, if your model continually changes poses and you want to capture these, it is very difficult to follow the "action". Better to use an AF lens. If you have time to setup and he/she is only posing for you, then the Zeiss is without peers.

Can consider Contax N85. This lens is specially made for portraits.

If you don't mind stop down metering and mirror clearance, CZ Jena Pancolar 80/1.8 is also very well rated. So far I have not seen one in the price point that I am willing to pay for due to the mirror clearance issue. However, that may change if Sony comes out with a FF mirrorless.

But I already have the Sigma 85, so no point for me to get another at the same FL.

I think the way around it is to: stop down a little more, probably around f4, then focus on the nose and by and large the face would be in the sweet spot.

For Mirrorless, the only cams that looks good to me is either the new Leica M or the Fuji XE1, but I won't go down that route yet... too many bills to pay, too little funds today...lol

Sigma 85 is no Contax N85. Anyway, I understand what you mean since you also have the ZE100.

This was taken some time back. @f1.4
