pour avoir une idée précise un comparatif (sony canon) permettrait de savoir ce qu'il en est des netteté, contraste, propreté du bokeh, à PO...
je suis sur Lyon... si nous ne sommes pas loin je suis prêt à faire ce "comparo"

je suis un peu plus bas (Aix en Provence)
je ne doute pas que le Canon soit excellent voire meilleur que le Sony distagon...je ne le connais pas. simplement  je trouve mon exemplaire très satisfaisant sur le plan de la netteté à 1.4...mais ce qui m'a sauté aux yeux quand je l'ai comparé au 35mm 2.8 c'est cette manière de "prendre la lumière", quelque chose que j'ai sur le 135mm 1,8 Zeiss en monture A (le 2.8 parait fade ou terne en comparaison), avec des couleurs magnifiques, et la possibilité de cropper avec l'A7RII sans (trop de)perte

Rapport performances / prix : 3,5/5

It isn't easy to come to a conclusion about the Zeiss Distagon T* FE 35mm f/1.4 ZA. Technically it has some weaknesses but then we have seen these weaknesses in other representatives of this class (high-speed wide-angle primes). The resolution characteristic is great in the image center straight from f/1.4. However, the image corners are not that hot till about f/2.8. Now does that matter from a real-world perspective? Usually, it doesn't. If you use the lens at large apertures, the corners are really of relevance and they are rarely on the same focus plane as your main subject anyway. Stopped down to f/4 the Zeiss lens is plenty sharp across the image field. Image distortions are pretty much absent and lateral CAs aren't overly relevant either. If you use the lens without image correction you will notice very high vignetting at fully open aperture but that's rather normal. A bit of an unfortunate shortcoming is the quality of the bokeh. You can, of course, produce lots of "blur" if the focus spread between your main subject and the surroundings is sufficient enough but the technical bokeh is fairly rough in the focus transition zones and out-of-focus highlights aren't a strength either. There also quite a bit of bokeh fringing. Then again - we have seen all this in many other 35mm f/1.4 lenses in the past.

Mechanically the lens is near-perfect. It feels as if it was carved out of rock and all controls are super smooth. The weather sealing is the cream on the cappuccino here. However, don't expect wonders in terms of AF speed - it's nothing to write home about really. A 35mm f/1.4 isn't meant for action photography so for most that shouldn't be an issue though.

So if you require such a fast 35mm prime lens, the Zeiss is certainly worth a look. However, if you are willing to look beyond the mainstream, you may also check out the new Samsung AF 35mm f/1.4 FE although keep in mind that Samyang doesn't really have the best record when it comes to centering quality.

Je suis plutôt surpris de la piètre qualité optique mesurée car je trouve le rendu de cet objectif agréable.

perso moi je l'ai trouvé très bien dans mon test et je l'ai gardé

il reste meilleur que le Samyang pour moi globalement
