Hey, make up your mind! Is it a ZF or a ZE?
It\'s a ZF, but the ZE is the same optical design of course.
I see that the ZE does exist, so maybe DXO will make an Optics Pro module for it. That would take care of the distortion, and turn it into a little monster.
The distortion is there, but it\'s only visible when you\'ve got straight lines following the long side of the image. In my opinion, the rest of the performance is more important in that case. The distortion is also very easy to correct, which is not the case with the CV 40/2 for example, even if it in fact is lower with that lens.
I\'d love to see more pics with this lens. - maybe some portrait work?
Edit: Portrait work it was... I sold my Nikkor 200/2 AI to a very nice fellow yesterday, and he took this picture of me (@ f/2.8). I don\'t think he will mind me posting it.
