Yea you can do center and I suggest do upper left corners . Just easier to see. I'm looking for the Batis 25 and I just can't find it

With the exception of 70-200mm, I haven't really used a zoom for years. My old Canon 28-70mm never came out when I wasn't on the clock, so I understand your perspective. This is why I mention the 35-70mm should someone need a smaller limited zoom vs a prime. For example, someone needing a travel lens to pair with the L21.

I don't have any comparison shots for you, but here's an album with three (full-rez) images from the 25mm Batis @ ƒ2.0 -

My initial take, its *potentially* bitingly sharp across the frame at maximum aperture wide end. It's too large & too obvious for the kind of shooting I do. It's slightly soft on the far right of the frame at maximum aperture and wide end, but sharper than any other 24 @ f/2.8 I've had (is this acceptable, without seeing other GM's). But at f/8 its pretty much laser sharp across the frame wide end. Bokeh is stunning, I shoot most everything wide open and close (see website).
I don't really know what to think yet, would like to see another copy for that right side frame @ f/2.8. Now I'd like to see how the Batis 25 looks @ f/2, that's got me intrigued, especially because they're far more discrete! Like you say, first world issues.

Here's more Batis images I uploaded earlier today. I own the Loxia 21 as well but have not done any comparison. I like them both. The Batis is more for AF situations whereas the Loxia is more for tripod work . . . at least for me. I had the Batis on the shelf for a couple of weeks until this past weekend and I loved the images coming from it.
HERE is a page with my thoughts and some test images I shot today with my 24-70 F2.8 GM. Overall I like the lens and its fast autofocus, build quality and smooth zoom action. Its big, but the size and weight isn't a hindrance for me.

Curiously, for a much as this thing was pushed as something like "no compromise and best-in-class bokeh" with their new tech ... I'm surprised that those who have this lens are actually seeing 'rings.

It's much better than the Canon 24-70/2.8 ll I have in my files and that was the gold standard according to many.

Well it balances nicely between holding grandson and camera with lens. I dropped neither but did not get much really today. I'm on my big bronco wall first thing in morning

I'll assume on the 100% view the reason for the slight loss of crispness on the right side of the wall and roof is a depth of field thing as the rock on the ground stays crisp.

Could be. Also, this was handheld and I may not have been perfectly parallel to the building. Plus, this shot is at ƒ2.8.
I kind of have an idea on the Loxia, but all the batis samples I've run across are f/8 and over-sharpened.
! Did you try other FLs?
