Werner,
So many confusing and conflicting messages on the internet regarding this lens. I expect there is more sample variance than expected. Your shots consistently gets my attention and your 70mm shot is what I would expect from a Zeiss 24-70. How do you rate your 24-70 on the wide end?
Dave
On the wide end 24 corners are not very good but still for most (not all) situations acceptable. For me its a good lens for convenient shooting. Would take my 24 TSE II for critical stuff.
No lens without compromise and oc differed people have different needs.
Sometimes you have just to take pics instead of reeding in the net...
That's a great HDR Werner!! and great composition, too.
Even though I'm in Hawaii, morning routines a little while we figure out the day, and affords me a little FM time.

Thanks. I'm not expecting perfection at this price - so your report is about what I would expect. . . but I would say that your 24mm pic of Kultur Brauerei Heidelberg at f/13 hits some critical requirements! At least with a good tripod and static subject. I think however, I will wait and see what Zeiss will offer at Photokina.

Great shots on previous page! Here are a few more from Hanalei Bay on Kauai. Sooc jpg transferred via wifi to my iPhone 5s. Completely unedited...

Contax 28 2.8 @ 5.6 or f8
Sony 70-200 f4 OSS around f6.3
Sony 70-200 f4 OSS around f6.3 or 7.1
Sony 70-200 f4 OSS around f5.6 I think. I need to crop the left side out...
I will be there in a week or so.
