It\'s not the 35/2 people are comparing it to but the legendary Zeiss 35/1.4 Distagon, i.e the previous version of the lens. It\'s one of the most valued primes around here and very likely the most appreciated 35mm lens. So it\'s perfectly natural that people are surprised by the significant difference in physical dimensions and weight of the new one.

No, it\'s because you made a couple of inaccurate statements that people have been correcting you. I\'m sure most people here agree that image quality trumps size/weight issues at least within reason. The MTF charts look good but apart from that we don\'t have much to go on yet. The samples that we\'ve seen so far have not been adequate to give a good idea of the general character and performance of the lens. So we discuss what we know about it - i.e that it\'s unusually large and heavy.
It\'s nothing, you should wait for when the images come in when there will be a widespread condemnation of the new one for not being like the old one. It\'s a law of nature.
Ok, let\'s see what statement I did in this thread before it started then. Tell me which one of these that was inaccurate and needed to be corrected then. These two where the only I made before it started
\"\"Image quality & Build quality are a lot more important than weight & size\"\"
\"\"Where in EU do I buy this lens for a good price? Just over 1500 euro is the lowest I have seen\"\"
And you still not get it I\'m not saying they should compare it (IQ or speed) against the Zeiss 35/2. I\'m saying that when that lens weight 530 gr. The new lens have to be a lot more heavy. The build in all the new Zeiss lenses has the same build and it\'s rather easy to compare those
