Update to Zeiss ZF 21/Distagon tomorrow
I worked diligently yesterday and today to prepare 3 comparisons with the Zeiss ZF 21/2.8 Distagon, two on the Nikon D3x and one on the Canon 5D Mark II (and that’s just the writing part, making a solid comparison is hard work, and often requires shooting many subjects, plus careful cross-checking).
I’ll be publishing the comparisons tomorrow in Zeiss ZF Lenses, as well as a supplementary page Alignment Woes. The comparisons will include the ZF 21/2.8 Distagon, as well as zooms and the Voigtlander 20/3.5 Color Skopar.
The Voigtlander 20/3.5 Color Skopar will also get attention with comparisons soon in DAP, but the head-to-head results with the ZF 21/2.8 Distagon will be found only in Zeiss ZF Lenses. In brief, if you’re looking for top sharpness, you’ll have to pay for it.
