Comments about Zeiss 28mm f/2.8 ZM Lens - Black:
I use this on my Sony NEX-5 and it's amazing quality just keeps on coming. Only complaint is that you can't focus closer than about 1-1/2 ft/ 1/2 meter, but I am usually using it for things at a distance. The build quality is excellent, it's great to feel that cold heavy metal in your hand and the size is perfect for the small NEX. I also tried the 50mm but I liked the 28mm better.

Comments about Zeiss 28mm f/2.8 ZM Lens - Black:
I like this lens a lot. It's flare control is outstanding with nice 10 a pointed sunstar affect. It's actually sharper than what Zeiss's MTF graph led me to believe. By no means should this lens be judged on its published MTF graph when comparing it to the Leica Elmarit. The Zeiss is bigger and heavier, but its not too big. For the money, you cannot go wrong with this 28mm lens for your rangefinder.

Comments about Zeiss 28mm f/2.8 ZM Lens - Black:
I use Zeiss lens regularly on a Contax 645 camera and appreciate their quality and durability. The 28mm/f2.8 ZM lens was the first of the ZM range that I'd tried - and it is excellent. I'm using it on a Leica M8 - a camera I'm still getting used to. On the first outing, a walk though downtown Melbourne just after dawn when the street lights and shop windows were still on, it performed incredibly well with pin-sharp images, excellent tonal range and color rendition. I can't compare it with the more costly 28mm Leica lens for the M8, but for build quality, optical performance and durability, I don't feel I need to for the present anyway.
