| compared to: | Sony 10-18 E-mount on Nex7 & A6000. Voigtlander 15mm. |
| price paid: | 750 GBP |
| positive: | Zeiss badge |
| negative: | It is only sharp in the centre of the image. |
| comment: | 4.8 for sharpness, dream on. Maybe in the center but the edge of the frame is not as good as the Sony 10-18 E-mount on the NEX-7 which has a smaller sensor. Simply not worth the money. The badge looks nice in the Peli case though. I sold this lens soon after buying it. |

| compared to: | 16-35mm SSM I Samyang 14mm Sigma 12-24mm Sigma 12-24mm II Tokina 17mm ATX-pro Tamron 15-30 (Nikon version) |
| price paid: | 2050 AUD new |
| positive: | It's fairly light and compact Improved over the original It takes normal filters Zeiss® quality and feel in photos! Well built |
| negative: | There's still some later CA or distortion in the extreme corners but it's much improved |
| comment: | After owning the original and being unhappy with the corner resolution this baby took me by surprise. I was looking to buy the tamron 15-30 which although it's technically Superior in sharpness I feel the gap is now very small with this new version, and in some cases this lens edges out( a small feat given difference in size). It's about as perfect as a wide angle lens can get. It takes normal filters and is well built and performs very well. Love that Zeiss look and feel - it's a definite improvement, they even shaved a 70g or so of weight off it! |
