Is the zeiss otus ml 85mm f 1 4 worth it?

It depends on how you shoot. The Otus ML 85mm f/1.4 is a full frame, manual focus only prime with no stabilisation, so it suits people who enjoy focusing by hand. It's made for Sony E, Canon RF and Nikon Z mounts and fits a long list of bodies, including the Sony a7 III, Nikon Z6 II and Canon EOS R6.

For flattering portraits, 85mm is the right focal length, and f/1.4 gives you plenty of background blur. My site doesn't list a price, so check that before you decide. For most people, the cheaper 85mm f/1.8 does the same job and is easier to live with. You can compare options on the portraits page.
