This aperture series from f/2 to f/16 is a far-field image, a case where any weaknesses tend to pop out, and indeed a weakness is found, but whether it is lens or camera is unclear.

Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2 Distagon Aperture Series: Creek Overview(Sony A7R)

Entire-frame images up to 24 megapixels from f/1.8 through f/16.

The performance is sure to delight any wide angle shooter, starting with its superb visual impact right at f/2. The Batis 25mm f/2 is the lens to have in that range for the Sony mirrorless shooter. At about $1299 (before the 4% reward and with free expedited shipping), it’s reasonably priced for what it delivers.
