Your not going to find corner to corner sharpness wide open with any wide angle PERIOD. It dont exist in any systemI had hopes of edge to edge sharpness wide open. No such luck with the 25, 35 and 100 that I had. I do documentary work under poor light and need wide open performance. I love my D800 but there aren't any wides that give me what I need. Longer glass isn't a problem.
Actually, the 24 PC is pretty good here -- remember it shifts 12mm, so the IC has quite an area to cover. The corners on mine start to fall apart at about 8-9mm of shift, the edges go at 9-10mm.Your not going to find corner to corner sharpness wide open with any wide angle PERIOD.

I just expanded my Leica M9 system with a 35 asph summilux FLE and 24 Elmar. The 24 is slow but tack sharp into the corners. The 35 f1.4 FLE exceeds anything I've seen and matches the 50 asph summilux corner to corner. Wide open performance is amazing.Your not going to find corner to corner sharpness wide open with any wide angle PERIOD. It dont exist in any system
The best you will get is maybe F4 and that might be a push
I like the Zeiss better myself. I think it's a stop better on the edges and corners. Smaller too.Guy, thanks for the sample pics from the zeiss 25mm f/2 looks great. how does iit compare to the nikon 24mm 1.4G lens in terms of edge to edge sharpness at f 5.6 - 8?
