I recently aquired the Zeiss 18mm/3,5 lens for Nikon mount. It arrived one day after i left for a (last tuesday) bike trip to Gotland. Would have loved to have had it with me, oh well. I just got home yesterday evening so i havent had time to go out with the lens as of yet, hopefully later today (if the weather allows it) or tomorrow.

Until then here are some quick snaps of the lens it self. .-)

Initial impression is as to be expected when it comes to build and handling, rendering is also "typical" Zeiss.
Do you have an APS sized sensor? If so, the lens will about a 27 mm equiv in 35 mm terms.
Hi Don! Yes i do , but i also have a "full format" camera, so ill have the fov of 27mm on my D2X, and the FOV of 18mm on my D3.

Here are a few initial snaps with it, taken this evening.
