Carl Zeiss announces new 21mm Lens for Canon, Nikon and Pentax

After the introduction of a 50 and 85 mm lens for Canon, about which I wrote yesterday, Zeiss has introduced another lens for Canon (and also Nikon and Pentax) today.
The lens is called the Distagon T* 2,8/21 and works on both analog and digital SLR cameras.

I am not sure if those new Zeiss lenses will find many buyers. If I were a Nikon shooter, I would prefer the wonderful Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8G ED AF-S. This lens is extremely sharp and the zoom is much more versatile.

Canon’s wide angle zooms – though not perfect – are very good lenses, too. And they have AF and are from Canon itself.

Many photographers today prefer zoom lenses.
If Zeiss came up with a very sharp 4/16-35 that outperforms the (very good) Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM, I might consider buying it.

See this review at luminous landscape for an interesting comparison of the and Zeiss Distagon 18mm f/3.5 and the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8G ED AF-S.
