Carl Zeiss Heaven

Though I am only in day two with the Carl Zeiss 24mm 1.8 NEX lens I can see it isn't going to come off of the NEX 7 much. The contrast, colors and bokeh are wonderful.

This is clearly excellent but, in my opinion, at £1,000 here in the UK it is absurdly over-priced for what is, after all, only an APS-C lens. So you have a 36mm equivalent with the DOF characteristics of a 2.8 lens. Conversely, the Zeiss ZM 35/2.8, which is of course a full-frame lens, costs around £650 here, although it is,of course, manual-focus only.
