Thanks very much indeed for this. It is perfectly clear that the APO-Lanthar wins hands down at f2 and, to a lesser extent, thereafter. The real question for me is whether it is sufficiently better, in practical rather than OMG terms, to warrant a switch, particularly as landscape photography is for me always on tripod at f8 or higher so the extraordinary corner to corner performance at f2 is only of academic interest.
The key factor (for me) when used wide open is the quality of subject separation and I suspect the Zeiss, with its signature mid range punch, might be the winner. I'd certainly be interested to know what owners of both think about that.
