Well, I was talking about 35mm primes. Philip believed we ought to talk about Contax In Contax site,so I named the 35mm lenses of Contax. No doubt N17-35 is the best wide angled Zoom in 35 mm photography, but I doubt if it will beat the best primes,to me at the moment is ZM 35 2. I am just not happy with zooms,no matter even if it is the best zoom.
Forgive me of talking about the MTF again,I just can't buy all of them in order to test them. The MTF of ZM35 2 is a lot better than N17-35 at 35.
Despite the fact that most ZM lenses are made in Japan,some of them are the best lenses in 35 mm photography.35 2.8,25 2.8 have the best MTF I have ever seen,one of them 35 2 is already tested by me and it is difficult for me to find a better one. I believe it is the same for 25.I will scan some photos and show up the result later.
