For what it's worth, I think the L25 is the sharpest 24/25mm for landscape purposes, full stop. Trading your Zeiss 2/2.8 combo would likely be a solid move, though I know how one gets attached to long-serving tools.
Really?!? Have you compared the 24GM at comparable aperture? I have not shot the 25 Loxia, but the 24GM is crazy sharp, even at f/1.4, and it continues to sharpen a bit more through f/3.6. It would be hard for me to imagine a lens yet sharper. The ZE 25/2 was lovely, so maybe some of that magic?
I prefer the Loxia 25.2/8 to the ZE 25/2. And definitely both are better than the original ZF 25/2.8.
Zoom-wise, I only have Canon EF 16-24/4L IS. It is a very good zoom, but not better than the wide Loxia line-up. (Edit: I forgot that I also have the Sony 12-24/4G. Nice lens, but it doesn't get a lot of use -- I'll have to put it to use more often! )
