Wow! Stunning !!!!

I put a link to them on my website and even created a short topic for discussing it! makes me want to own a canon now. I had the nikon version but i think this looks better. If only they made one for the sony

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...

To be honest, it is super sharp, but it does vignette in the corners wide open. At least mine does

How bad is vign ..1-2 stop? In night scenes it isn't very important i guess.

I would say, no less than one stop, certainly less than two. It disappears at f:3.5

Very nice snowboarder!

I was in my local store the other day to look for the eos version. They only had the nikon one at the moment but man it felt good. A true joy to use. Very very well made...

Nice shot of a nice spot IMHO, Jeffrey. But I don't understand the "f2" bit.

Thanks, Phil!

Not bad for f4. A little smaller aperture and you'd get the foreground and and rear ferns in focus (only if you want to).

BTW, I'm thinking of getting the new 35 ZE. Should I expect greatness?
