These are approx. 50% magnifications from each lens at maximum aperture, shooting into the sun into two different trees. It may not show well in jpeg reduction, but in the original the Zeiss gives a particularly disappointing result here, especially visible in the second set with a tree further away. ie highest fringing. The fringing is still present at F2.8 but largely gone by F4.
Obviously the sun is moving through the branches, so the comparisons can\'t be exact. (These are not scientific tests just \"my best\" which should at least give \"indications\".) Of course the Tokina\'s widest is F2.8, not F2.
ZE F2
OM F2
Tok F2.8
ZE F2 (Is the Zeiss C/Y 100/2 similar? I can\'t afford to get one as well, just to check!)
OM F2
Tok F2.8
The poor result of the Zeiss makes me wonder how much worse it would have been in the situation with the OM Zuiko I posted here: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1087415
with the result below:
OM F2
I can only assume that the Zeiss would have been worse. Ouch!
Does anyone know if the Zeiss C/Y 100/2 is this bad?
