DxOmark (Click here) posted their Batis 25mm f/2.0 lens test results. As you can see it beats the F-mount Zeiss Distagon 25mm lens by a single point but it’s not as super razor sharp as the new Loxia. DxO writes:
If you need a wider field of view, the Zeiss Loxia 2.8/21 offers improved sharpness of 27 P-Mpix compared to 22 P-Mpix for the Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2. The Batis is still outstandingly sharp, however, and offers a faster maximum aperture with better light transmission, as well as marginally better results for vignetting and chromatic aberration than the Loxia 2.8/21. All in all, the Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2 is a champion wide lens and that’s why it currently sits at the top in our database.
It’s still a challenge to find a Batis lens in Stock. There are a few ready to ship on [shoplink 45273 ebay]eBay (click here)[/shoplink]. But most stores do not have them in Stock now:
