Well, I use the 25mm f2, and I think it is pretty good. Better than the
Nikon 28mm f1.8 - I tested both for a bit before I bought the Zeiss. He was
not quoting the best lens for the D800E based his experience, but DXO Mark
data - which is always the sign of a bean counter. Anyway, the comment was
a light hearted off the cuff one, not meant to be taken too seriously.
