Its good at infinity, in fact as good as Canon LTM 50/1.4, to my great surprise when i shot them side by side. Little PP here, I think all i did was bring the sky down a bit on top.
Thats near dusk, partial overcast at about f/5.6 Not that its a landscape lens per say, but it does fine, and that's a nice flexiblity the nikkor does not have. I'm pretty sure the nikkor out resolves the zeiss at 1 meter, but the zeiss is fine there too.
At first I thougt it was soft at edges in the long shots, but when I looked close, not so.
I will find a wild bokeh situation at some point and shoot it side by side with nikkor
But I see why this was really the greatest normal 35mm lens for near 20 years. Someday I'll find a late 50s coated version too.
Now according to Henry, the zeiss guy, this lens is sharper now than new, because it was never cleaned and the outer surfaces were very finely oxidized. This phenomenon was what gave rise to coatings in the first place, so they say--well you know all that, but i didn't. ...Show more →

Wow, I'm really glad I got the NEX 5N and EVF and also that I'm so happy with it. Looks like it will be a while before the 7 shows up.
Trying the Contax G Biogon 21mm f2.8 on my NEX5... Shows severe smearing along the picture edges and purple color shift in the corners... Gonna have to upgrade to 5N...
