 p.2 #4 · Zeiss 21mm ZE vs. Nikon 14-24mm | |
I'm not sure if it really makes sense to keep all these lenses. On most trips I will probably take only the 14-24mm, the 21mm and the 24mm and add the 17mm only if I plan to make lots of architecture shots. The 21mm ZE could be a good addition to the zoom and the 24 TSE, because it can take filters and has a fantastic perfomance at f/2.8. I assume, that I will use the 21mm ZE for low light street photography and situations were a protection filter (or any other filter) would help, like at the sea, at waterfalls or at the desert. But since I have the 21mm ZE only for two weeks, I have not much experience with this lens. Maybe you should ask me this question again in 6 months.
Regarding the quality of these lenses I would say the 24mm TSE II is the best, followed by the 21mm. The 17mm is the worst of these 4 lenses, although still very very good.
If I could only have one of these lenses it would probably be the 24mm TSE II.
Best regards,
Boris

I have the 14-24 also along with the 24 T/SII. I have been playing with the ZE21mm. Although I see the 24mm T/S as the sharpest of the 3 (just) I still like the 21mm perspective on certain shots. I would appreciate your thoughts on if YOU find all 3 valuable and if you regretting having so much overlap? How do you find the quality difference on your samples? Thanks
