The amazing thing is how it has almost no barrel distortion, which is crazy for such a wide lens (and at f/2.8!!). The Zeiss is awesome. It's some of the sharpest glass I've ever used and the build quality is second to none. Having an f/1.4 manual focus is tricky though, because it's very easy to get things out of focus because the plane of focus is so narrow. But 50mm on a full-frame actually works very well (I tried it on the APS-C, and its uses are a bit more limited). Hi Dave, yeah, the 14-24 is so cool.

Great camera and lenses btw - I don't have the 24-70 or the 70-200, but the 14-24 is one amazing lens - just made for the D700... How's the 50/1.4 Zeiss treating you?
