Roger's Zeiss 28mm article.

I liked it but wish you had compared it to the Nikon 28mm f/2.8 AIS. This would have been a great match-up since its one of the best Nikon lenses, and it sells for a fraction of what the Zeiss sells for. Also I noticed you do your full frame 35mm tests with a film camera and not a full frame digital. Is there a reason you use the DX digital for testing even though its not compatible with the non chipped manual lenses for metering?

Even better the Nikon f/2.0 ais since its the same f-stop as the Zeiss and built even better then the f/2.8 and still much cheaper than the Zeiss.
