Today I got hold of a french fellow-FM:ers G 21. As the grey sky-blanket took a break this morning I got a chance to try it. This lens should be worse with color-shift, and corner sharpness falls compared to e.g. the G 28. These are handheld 1/80 F/5.6 (G 21 NEX 5N). Excessive detailing for
Wow! Excellent cityscapes! Contax G seems to never disappoint, especially when wielded with skill. I haven't seen many from the 21 on the NEX, those are very impressive samples. I really wish there was a better focusing solution for these lenses; I know some are OK with it.
By the way, the 28 does have some color shift on the 5N. It's not too strong. Shoot it in the fog or into overcast sky and you should see it.

And FWIW, sometimes I think people confuses pixel peeping corners with a bizarre fantasy that everything gets printed large (I do that myself a lot) :-)
But how else could we justify those big bucks we spend on all those lenses we don't really need. I very rarely print at all, but if I do print something, I print large, to frame and hang on the wall.
If we didn't care about corners and other aspects of lens perfromance, the kit lens would be all we'd really ever need.
Here everything turned blue today with -10 Celsius. Some more from the Contax G21, handheld and about 1/60, F/5.6. For those interested it's weaker in the corners but fully suffice most of the times for me. Detailing in most of the image is quite amazing - even though it may be a bit excessive here.
