I would agree with you in that my initial impressions are that the newer lens is somewhat better. The new lens seemed to have better immunity to flare, but I have not made exhaustive tests. My test rolls were shot using Ektachrome Elite II 100. I have not been disappointed, however, as the new lens is essentially the same price as the one it replaced (I don't have that one for comparison). I have not yet done a comparison with the Zeiss 21mm G lens. I'll try to do that ASAP. My experience with the Contax G system is that the lenses are very good indeed. And it's nice to have the viewfinders included (when necessary). I hope to meet some of you this weekend at the LHSA meeting in Charlotte, NC. I'll be the clueless looking one with the beard.
