Luka, what I find is that the 28 is the best Zeiss lens I have found to handle extreme constrasts, which was the case with this short set, shot around 3pm. Why htis is, I don\'t know yet, but it can help in certain situations.
Perhaps that\'s a benefit but overall I just can\'t get excited about its rendering style. It lacks the incredible detail and micro contrast of the 21 as well as the drama that comes with the wider angle. It also seems to lack the medium range depth of the 35/2. I mean you can definitely see that it\'s a Zeiss but I think that the lenses on both sides of the FL (21 & 35) are simply better. Of the pictures you\'ve posted here I\'ve always by far preferred your shots with the 21. This is however not just your shots - of the hundreds that I\'ve seen shot with the 28 I could perhaps pick two or three where I liked the overall look. (I\'m talking of rendering style only of course - I\'ve seen many fantastic photos - including yours - taken with the 28. They were however not good because of the lens in question.)
Anyway, that\'s just my opinon
A couple of night time 85/1.4 shots in my standard setting:
