Well, much as it pains me to admit EVERYTHING invented by Zeiss isn't
perfect, any retrofocus lens will simply NOT perform to the same =
standard
as a REALLY GREAT non-retrofocus lens.  The difference will be minute, =
but
it will be there.=20


But there is one very big disadvantage with non-retrofocus lenses. They =
have a big vignetting problem. The only way round this is to have a ND =
center filter, which corrects this but it costs two stops. So =
effectively the lens is tow stops slower. Example: the 16mm Hologon for =
Contax.

Retrofocus lenses on the other hand do not have this problem.
