Pros:optical quality, very low weight and dimensions, natural colors, flare resistance, low price
Cons:the original hood must be bought separately
Opinion:I have been using it on the Leica M10R digital for more than a year and it has given me enormous satisfaction for its overall optical quality and portability; weight and dimensions are contained but this does not come at the expense of the overall optical quality, really good at intermediate apertures (5.6 and 8), a little less at f: 4 and especially at f: 2.8 where it has a certain loss of sharpness at the corners of the frame. This limit makes it a perspective suitable for landscape and architecture rather than for journalistic reportage and on any other occasion in which it is necessary to shoot at very open apertures; in this field from direct experience I can say that the Summicron 28 f:2 latest version clearly prevails. Where there are no such needs, the Zeiss (moreover much less expensive) is a very valid alternative to the Elmarit 28 f:2.8 and to the same Summicron 28 f:2, compared to which the intermediate diaphragms has little or nothing to envy, especially in the center and in the middle areas of the frame. A note of merit, finally, to the resistance to reflections and color rendering, very natural.
Pros:Absolute quality and value for money; Lightness.
Cons:Auto focus loss and exif data
Opinion:Wanting to equip my Z7 with a 28, I finally purchased this new lens, renouncing my first ambition aimed at leica summicron and elmarit M with focal pari; the quality is substantially the same (except for the greater opening of the Summicron) and the significantly lower cost. Definition, dynamic range, microcontrast, three-dimensionality for my experience are excellent. Used with adapter on the Z7 the maf is manual, but of course it is not a problem for shots on easel and requires attention in the street, for which I still use other designed. Lightweight and 46 filters are a big plus in the transport and use phase.
