Zeiss ZF 25mm f2.8: Some pictures

I managed to get this lens second hand for a very reasonable price. On my Canon 5D mark 1 it offers a really nice wide view ... and all in all it is a stunning lens:

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I just realized I published this in the wrong forum section ... hm, I was clearly too tired yesterday evening

The rendering of the lens is very good and also the sharpness. I did a comparison the other day against my other wide angle lenses and it came out first.
I hear a lot of people saying good things about the built quality ... yes, it is nice, but it is quite in line with the old manual focus lenses. So while I think the build quality is good, I wasn't too surprised about it as I have been working with quite some good quality full metal lenses from the 60's and 70's.

I have the C/Y Distagon version of this lens and it is my "go to" lens. Wonderful in all respects
