G'day Brian, I have the 35mm Zeiss, it hardly ever comes off my camera.I bought the f/1.4, but the f/2 is also a superb lens.
The focus confirm works perfectly and I seem to get percentage wise more shots that I am happy with. I think that is probably because I take a bit more time and think about composition a little bit more. AF is faster and easier no question.
Zeiss has a feel and a following, you either like it or you don't.
Here is a shot from my garden when I first got the lens, it is shot wide open and has a bit of everything going on. Contrasty reds and greens and blown out sky, nice bokeh here and there and a bit of thin DOF/ 3D going on. Just click on it to view full size on Flickr.
Good luck,
Steve
