The Zeiss lenses must not necessarily be sharper in all possible situations, Smridevan. Such comparisons as yours are a difficult base for judgeing the quality of a lens. What you should do is processing both shots properly and compare them side by side. That should teach you the difference between both.
I went through these stages as well. Compared my Zeiss lenses to the two mighty AF-S Micros and my beloved AF-S 16-35. And yes, somtimes the Nikkors look even sharper in detail. But comparing the properly processed pictures in original size is the real eye opener.
Saying that a new lens also means some work to learn about it\'s strengths and weaknesses. You got to learn, when and how to use it properly. In my case it was even quite a long learning curve, because I had to learn to handle DSLR and PP at the same time after having sold my 4x5 studio cam some months ago.
Look at this one sample I\'ve taken with my 2/35. I\'m very well used to shoot espresso installations with my two Micro lenses. But believe me, there isn\'t much that get\'s close to the quality of the rendering, the plasticity and the \'3-D-ness\' in that image here!
