Nice document, I wish they made their lens(es?) as good as this information
sheet.
Last year I bought the Zeiss Planar 1,4/50 ZE for my Canon 5dII.
This lens is beautifull made, very solid, smooth focussing, very nice to work
with.
But it was not usable under the 5,6.
I felt I got a better image quality when using a pinhole camera. It had a
terrible vignetting which disappeared slowly by stopping down. And the
(un)sharpness in the corners was even worse, which completely disappeared at 5.6
I must say it was more than excellent by 5.6 or 8 , but what is the point of
designing a 1.4 if it's not usable, even stopping down (besides a nice clear
view!)
I sent it back to Carl Zeiss in Germany (the lens itself is made in Japan) but
they returned it, after testing, saying it was within all tolerances.
Well , there's the problem; their tolerances....
Anyway, I sold the ZE and now using my Summicron 2.0/50. It can slow you down a
little, but besides that it operates great and image quality is known to
everybody.
NB! My expierence is only the 1,4/50. I really don't know about their Maco or
Wide Angle lenses!! Mayby they are very good!!
best to all

Here is a new document from Zeiss about bokeh, for those who might be
interested.
