I haven't compared it to the 12, but I do own the CV 15mm. I feel like the Zeiss has better contrast, and love the AF on my X-Pro 1. If I didn't already own the 15 I'd probably pull the trigger on the Zeiss, but it's a harder sell with the 15 sitting in my bag. Both a great choices.Has anyone compared the 12mm Zeiss to the Cosina Voigtlander M 12mm?
Assuming he is talking wide open, or near it, I wonder how it perfoms stopped down? (I wonder, because this is how you will use it for landscapes, or is another purpose what you have in mind?SUPER SHARP is not what most people find pleasing in portraits, especially if those most people are female. Granted, opinions will vary, but that is mine.
Kit, I had the Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 L II, and the EF-S 10-24mm (for the APS-C sensor) and liked them both.Dale, I will be very interested in that lens as well; I had two copies of Nikon's excellent 14–24 over the years I was into that FF system, and I am sure that Fuji's offering will be close to it, if not better, based on the other lenses' performances.

The 75/2.5 has a lovely form factor, is smaller and lighter, and IIRC is sharp wide open. Great to have the choice.
