1DX II + Zeiss Otus 85mm severe underexpose problem

docusync — Sat, 24 Sep 2016 16:00:39 GMT

Out of curiousity decided to try my Otus 85mm (used on the Canon 5dsr) on the 1dx2 and for some reason the metering system started going nuts. Tried full evaluative metering and spot metering - same thing. Instead of ISO 1250-1600 getting ISO 250. Tried another lens (Canon 85 f/1.2 L II) - everything is right: ISO 1250. All corrections are off in the camera settings. Looks like a bug (or a feature 🙂 ?

Might be a high dollar third party lens but it is still a third party lens.

Thank you John! I'm wondering if those lenses are "updatable" (without sending back to Zeiss 🙂 ) ...
