25/2.8 is a very good and wildely underestimated lens.
I agree, it's small and quite useful IMO. 21mm often is too wide
and there is nothing else to use if you want a ~24-25mm lens.
My 1st one was not focussing well at infinity, so Zeiss replaced it
and my 2nd one is very good. Just a couple of snapshots
I took this week (ZK version).
Snowboarder - Great to see examples from ZK. Beautiful shots.
Riccardo - Beautiful Orchid, but I really like the wood plank shot. Interestingly, it almost looks like the wood grain in focus is facing different direction from the plank itself.

Snowboard # 2 is very nice.Great Contrast and Color.do you mind me asking what type of infinity focus problem were you having?
It couldn't focus at infinity. Like a range was shifted or something.
Zeiss couldn't test it here, but decided to send me a new one anyway
I think this lens is great for close ups, not only because it focuses really close,
but it has a great Zeiss rendering for close up photos.
At infinity it's sharp and has the clarity, but it's harder to get the quality
of 35 f2 or 21 from it. Still I like it on my Pentax K-5 a lot.
Actually I only have 2 Zeiss lenses for my Pentax - 25 f2.8 and 100 f2
which I would buy for every system I would build
partitura - Fantastic shot of cruise ship and houses. Juxtaposition of different scale is mind boggling.
Philippe - Beautiful flower shot. First shot showcase the beauty of color and flower itself, second one gives me sense of space with wonderful oof fore / back grounds. I also like the crop.
MorrieC- Second shot captures all in one shot. I also wonder how it would feel in B/W.
