Verdict
The Zeiss Distagon T* 25mm f/2.8 ZF is a very good fix-focal lens but it doesn´t
reach the quality levels of its sister, the Planar T* 50mm f/1.4. Nonetheless it easily
outperforms the corresponding Nikkor AF 24mm f/2.8. The image quality is the center
is about as good as it gets on the Nikon D200 but the borders could be a little
better. The level of vignetting at f/2.8 is also a little disappointing though no
problem at other aperture settings. Both CAs as well as distortions are very moderate
for a wide-angle lens. In the field the Distagon shined regarding its very strong
resistance against flare which I haven´t really seen to such a degree with other lenses
of this kind. The build quality of the lens is excellent. Typical for all ZF lenses the
Distagon comes with a couple of handling penalties - it doesn't offer AF and the
aperture can only be controlled on the lens.
