I'm curious if anyone has any personal experience with this lens?

Thanks,

No personal experience, but check out www.16-9.net for a 35mm PC shake-out. The Zeiss blew the comp away.

My Contax 35mm was very sharp, but my new Zeiss ZF 35mm is sharper.

I like my zf35 on canon full frame. I particularly like it between f2 and f4, though the performance remains excellent at smaller apertures also 0 it's just the whole image seems nice at those apertures.

I had one briefly - was trying it on a Canon 20D. Very easy to use, very crisp. A bit large, but a wonderful lens. Foolishly sold it, as it ended up not being wide enough with the crop factor.

Don't know if I'd buy one back, as the need for more width really is at the core (for me) of a PC lens, but of the ones out there for 35 mm (or the DSLR's), this is a peach.

I have no experience with the lens but have googled "zeiss pc" and seen images taken with it.

Does anyone know of a legitimate lens lab that can convert this lens from Canon mount to Nikon D3
mount?  

Thanks.
