I really want to like this lens but after buying the Sigma Art 18mm-35mm lens, I wish I had never purchased this Ziess lens.

Review from Lens Rentals dot com The Zeiss ZF.2 25mm f2 is a new and greatly improved version of the previous Zeiss 25mm f2. Despite the design overhaul, the lens still maintains it's Distagon roots. The most obvious change is the increase in maximum aperture.

What a great lens. I can highly recommend it. Super also on DX-sensor. A bargain for what you get! I use it with a D5100 and D300.

Honestly I was quite disappointed in this lens as it over focused at infinity, meaning to get the crispest images on my D800e you had to back it off fractionally from infinity, and in my tests I found it to have almost no depth of focus or field, even using it f8 which is where DXO Mark say is it's...

I bought this lens to go with a new Nikon D800 DSLR. Because the D800 has a full frame 36 megapixel processor, it requires excellent lenses to get the most out of it. The Zeiss ZF2 25mm f/2 is a great wide angle lens for this camera.
