Next to zero image quality difference between this and the Sony 18-105mm. I bought both to see how much better the Zeiss would be and was shocked to find it VERY hard to determine which lens took which picture. At twice the price (theyre asking 1k for this thing now!), you get less zoom and no discernible image quality improvement. I returned this and kept the 18-105 Sony G series. For 500 bucks on amazon warehouse deals, it is a way better value than this zeiss.

I tried 2 copies from Amazon, and end up returning both. I tested both with a test chart under the same light condition using manual mode. 1 copy have soft corners all around, the other one is much sharper, but I found a big piece of dust sit inside the lens dead-center. However, both copies seem to have a slight sharper left side image than right side. For a $900 Lens, which is not weather sealed, having such variation from copy to copy is simply not acceptable.
