Zeiss Batis Lens
Best versatile prime for street and close up photography enthusiasts.
This is the ultimate 'one-lens' solution for photographers who refuse to compromise on sharpness or versatility. By blending a classic focal length with impressive close-focus capabilities, it eliminates the need to carry a dedicated macro lens, though you do sacrifice the ultra-fast aperture found on more specialized prime glass.
