I just received a pristine used cz 35, and pending shooting something other than my lamp and refrigerator I've noticed something of a puzzle: this lens seems to have a very early positive infinity stop, whereas my CZ 100 MP focuses to infinity and beyond.
Is this normal for this lens?
I cannot yet tell if it is crisp at full stop, or a fraction of a nudge before full stop. That variance, if it is there, is a small concern, because it defeats the purpose of a full stop.
I'm using this on a d800. What is the infinity status supposed to be on this lens?

I don't know about ZF, but all my ZE lenses go beyond infinity. The infinity stop of the 2/35 is closest to true infinity.
An accurate infinity stop on the lens only makes sense when the cameras are accurately and consistently calibrated, which is not the case. The decision to allow the ZE/ZF lenses to go a bit beyond infinity is a wise one, because in this manner it is at least possible to achieve infinity focus on different cameras.
Also, will it be as sharp as my 100?
No.
(I will not be able to see for myself due to other duties today, and I cannot tolerate the suspense of waiting to find out for myself.
You could have asked before buying the lens.
