The 24mm has better build quality, than the inexpensive Sigma, and I'm not saying it's a bad lens but I don't think it's much more than adequate. Like many lenses, the faults are corrected by in-camera programs.

I apologize for saying this but I've been unimpressed by most of the pictures taken with the Sony/Zeiss that have been posted to this forum.

It's biggest advantage appears to be it's 1.8 maximum aperture.

hard not to agree on your points, except... perhaps the build quality - somehow it doesn't convey the ooomph I usually get from handling Zeiss lenses; it is hard to pinpoint, and yet it just doesn't have the usual Zeiss ultimate craftsmanship feeling - hopefully the triad of primes announced for the next Spring will be [much] better in this respect !!
