The test shown above has sold me on the Sigma lens-thanks for saving me $800.00 Yes-I can see a color difference, but since I process all my stuff with a half dozen different Kodachrome presets in Lightroom, the differences would be moot once I finished with the files.
This was my feeling exactly when I first started looking at the two files but as soon as I started blowing them up or cropping them the difference became extremely obvious that the Zeiss was worth the money. The NEX sensor is still not full frame in its abilities so if you\'re using it for anything other than the Internet the lenses very important. The tests done by the Spanish site show that the Zeiss is basically almost twice as sharp as the Sigma. That doesn\'t make the Sigma a bad product and in your case when you\'re doing computer manipulation and changing of the files you are correct it really doesn\'t matter. If your files are being outputted mostly to the Internet, then as you know the Sigma lens will give you superior results to 90% of the iPhone pictures already there. I still will do another series of tests between the Sigma and the Zeiss before I buy it.
