I have owned the original ZF version of this lens for a few years and it has become my most-used lens for landscapes. I liked it so much that I upgraded to the ZF.2 version to have better communication between the lens and my camera. The 25mm focal length combined with the stellar optical performance of this lens make it perfect for landscapes. Although not a macro lens, this lens also has a good minimum focus distance so that you can get qutie close to subjects. Build quality, as Zeiss is known for, is superb. The barrel is metal and feels great when in use. As with all of the lenses in the ZF/ZF.2 lineup, the focus throw is long, which gives the photographer the ability to (manually) focus very precisely. The only negative that I can think of is the poorly-designed lens cap.
