Zeiss 21 2.8 vs. Nikon 24 1.4 vs. Nikon 14-24 quick test...
well I picked up the Nikon 24 1.4, I already had the Nikon 14-24, (one of them will be going, not sure which one yet) and lately I\'ve been considering adding a Zeiss lens to my lineup ( maybe the 50mm f2 MP). All of these lenses are very well regarded and fully tested by others much more competent than myself. However with the 24 1.4 and 14-24 in hand I had the opportunity to grab my friends Zeiss 21 2.8. So out of curosity I took a few quick grabs in an effort to see how each lens delivered in terms of color, contast, and bokeh.
As I said quick test... no brick walls or MTF charts. So these were done handheld on a D300, manual, f 2.8, ISO 800 1/320s. Color mode was Landscape with in camera sharpening up a bit.
#1 is the 24 1.4
#2 is the Zeiss
#3 is the 14-24
#4 is the Zeiss taken a little closer, just trying to figure out manual focus.
Three great lenses, fun to be able to play around with them. Thanks for looking.
