The next lens comparison is ready, because I have nothing else better to offer at the moment. This time we’ll check out the Sony CZ 16-35mm F/2.8 at 20mm, and the Sony 20mm F/2.8.  I’ve had several people wonder (out loud) about how the new Zeiss lenses rate among the primes offered by Sony, and some of the older Minolta designs.  I’m too lazy to do a complete review, so this is all you’re going to get for the time being.  It’s actually pretty interesting, and I include center and corner crops, distortion, and ghosting, so check it out here.

The new lens comparisons are being put on a new page, and the link will be located at the very bottom of the Nav bar to the left.  I’m doing this to save space on the homepage, and avoid longer load times.
The much ballyhooed Sony DT 30mm F/2.8 macro lens is now available for purchase in the US.  I ordered mine, and as soon as I get it, I’ll whip up a review.
