Lens Construction
MTF Chart
Do you know how this lens stacks up against the modern fixed zooms? In particular the other compact Z wide angles, 26mm f2.8 and 28mm f2.8 lenses. I wish they would make a newer compact 20mm f2.8 – seems a bit overdue. I would like some compact primes to pair with a new Zf.
