Hall of Famer
I'm using a lot of different camera systems these days, and occasionally I do some really random shootouts around the house. I've decided to start posting them in case any of the other pixel peepers around here find them interesting as I do.
In this shootout, I have the excellent Fuji 18-55mm f/2.8-4 zoom lens shot on a Fuji X-E1, and I'm comparing it to a Zeiss ZM 35mm f/2.0 prime lens shot on a Leica M9.
In order to match angle of view and depth of field, the Fuji lens was set to 23mm and f/5 while the Zeiss was at 35mm and f/8. This also means that both lenses were at their respective optimal apertures for edge sharpness without noticeable softening due to diffraction. Files were shot in RAW and processed in Lightroom 4.4.
