- It is based on a test by the magazine "Aktuell Fotografi". The Tamron
- 90/2.5 macro and the Zeiss PLanar T* 85/1.4 got the highest ratings in
- a test of 34 short telephoto lenses from 85mm to 135mm. All the major
- brands were represented.

-
- The test I'm referring to tested only optical quality.
- Price/performance considerations are left to the reader.
