I've seen samples online..Rather soft as heck even on a crop cam and even at web size Reading a few reviews some say it's sharp and some say otherwise, the few example shots I came across weren't amazing.

The few good ones i saw were from film shooters, Film was in many ways less demanding on glass as people didnt look at images the same way we do now... Gear, New and Old! RAW Club Member

With fashion: If it's underexposed, out of focus and grainy....it's called art otherwise it's labeled as porn Regards, Gareth Cooper GMCPhotographics

I scuffed mine up a bit on my trip out to the Salton Sea and to Hawaii last week. Just cosmetic scrapes, it happens (I scuffed my ZE 85 too. Whoops!) The 35 is a great walkaround lens. Its compact, sharp as it gets, little distortion, and a near perfect general focal length. Most would be surprised by how well the focus confirmation works. I have very few misses with this lens. My only gripe is it's durability. These Zeiss lenses scuff very easily. They are built like tanks but are sensitive to normal wear. A piece of my hoods felt liner rubed off and the replacement hood is nearly $100.
