Re: Poll: what is your preference? 24-70 II @28mm or Zeiss 2/28 ZF

I have the Zeiss 25mm, and it is clearly superior to the Canon 24 f1.4 Mk I in sharpness, contrast, saturation and price.  That being said, my 24-70 2.8 Mk II is as good as most Canon primes throughout most of its FLs.  Certainly better than the 50 1.4, and the 24 1.4 Mk I.  I haven't tried the 24 Mk II because I bought the Zeiss and no longer needed a Canon prime in that FL.

Either photo would be fine for a client, I just like the Zeiss sample better.  Without side by side comparison, no one would see the difference.
