Re: Rolling review: Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar T* FE 4/24-70 ZA
That still looks worse to me...sorry. And the fact that it\'s at BEST \'close\' to the same performance is still a little embarrassing. For a modern Zeiss lens at that price point...it should demolish something like the 12-32 at f/11. There\'s still CA even after reduction. The 12-32 has no CA correction done in the RAW conversion.
Here\'s another 100% crop of the lower left extreme corner of the frame of another shot at 12mm, f/7.1.
It\'s not perfect, but it\'s certainly usable, and the softening is really only the last very small percentage of the frame, where the sharpest part of the crop you posted is only as sharp as the softest part of the 12-32 crop, at least by my eye.

Here\'s another 100% crop of the lower left extreme corner of the frame of another shot at 12mm, f/5.6. It\'s not perfect, but it\'s certainly usable, and the softening is really only the last very small percentage of the frame, where the sharpest part of the crop you posted is only as sharp as the softest part of the 12-32 crop, at least by my eye.
