Stunning landscape shots. Little, if any distortion. Great color. Drat. Amazon wish list updated.

This was a quick shot taken on a little family outing...the exposure wasn't the best, but it came out okay.

Very interesting shot of the house on the right, Tim. You make it to look like a human face. Well done!

Now look at that nice 3D. People who can't see that must be missing one eye.

Hmm, call me one-eyed, but I see a lot of perspective, but no 3D... Nice shot, btw.

3D...no 3D....either way, I'm extremely pleased with this lens so far. I wish I had this a few weeks ago while I was shooting waterfalls.

I was with my wife and kids when I took that shot....didn't really pay attention to what I was doing, the clouds were very overexposed, I was able to bring enough detail back though I think.

Snowboarder -- beautiful shots. I have to know, are the sunset seascapes close to being "out of the camera" or have you done substantial post-processing?

Lots of nice pictures.It seems the new Zeiss works very good when you stop down,but how does it perform at f 2,8. are there soft corners at f 2.8? I am shooting northern lights including landscapes.Shooting with canon 5d. And yes,i know i am looking for the holy grail :-)

It's amazingly sharp at f2.8.
I've posted some test shots, here you have it + a center and a corner crop.
If there is any softness, it's simple a shallow depth of field...
