Thanks for the post. Looks like the 16-80 performs admirably to me.
Certainly swaying me towards it.

I have one question; did you had any problems with your 28-75D?
Performance at 28mm is quite surprising for me since i'm not used to get this softness stopped down to F4.5

based on these samples i would say that the new 16-80 lens certainly looks promising.

No, I have many impressive shots taken with 28-75, but not often at full aperture.
Zeiss is very compact and well built. It's not as massive like 28-75, but turns very smoothly. Good construction.

on first sight the CZ seems to be the sharpest one.

I agree with Kiklop; KM 28-75 at f4.5 usually performs much better (look at the left side of the image). - On the whole CZ 16-80 looks great, though.

It seems that my 28-75 isn't perfect. Maybe it can be fixed.

Thanks for the images.

I don't know about the two minolta lenses, but they are rather suprising....can the 24-105 be that soft?, leaving aside the 28-75 that is also too soft from what i pictured it to be, but sharpens up nicely at 50mm, the 24-105 is awful by comparison..., accros the board.

I'd like to see this test with the kit lens, just for fun, maybe this would reset the boundaries for "lowness"
Trying to creep back into my photo hobby.

Zeiss looks excellent, but I thought that at 50mm f4.5 the 28-75 was sharper on the left of the image. But the Zeiss is going to be easier to get hold of :-)

The Zeiss did look sharper, with a touch more contrast throughout the range. One thing I did notice, the KM has a more marked barrel distortion at the wide end - the CZ is non-existent.
