That is a super nice lens but Big Foot has nicer bokeh. The Zeiss has
more microcontrast pop
whatever that is. (LCE at the 8-10 pixel level seems to simulate it
FWIW)

That be said I still enjoy using the Zuiko 135 as it is has a tripod
mount on the autotube and is very sharp stopped down even a bit.
BigFoot has nicer bokeh iunder some conditions such as OOF foreground
and close backgrounds but just a wee bit further away the Zuiko 135 is
great in that dep't too. I will give it some exercise this weekend on
our hybrid daylilies that just popped. It is a bit more stable to stack
images with due to the tripod mount.
Never met a macro lens I didn't like for something, Mike
