Dunkelkammer (Click here) is the first website that has published image samples and comparison between the new Zeiss “Touit” and Fuji lenses!
And shortly after Dunkelkammer aslo Fujirumors posted a Zeiss versus Fuji comparison: “The Quality of the Zeiss is beautiful, the feel is gorgeous, I like them, but image quality wise, they do not seem to be better than the Fuji’s.“

Detail is about the same in the samples, but Fuji lens renders brighter colours and a little more contrast. I prefer the Fuji look. Zeiss must work harder next time or reduce pricing.
A little bit surprised by the lack of feedback about this first samples. It’s OBVIOUS that the fuji samples are far better than the zeiss. Better in the corner, less CA, better general sharpness. Of course, we have to wait for some reliable experimental protocol, but it’s not very impressive from Zeiss.
Don’t really see why Fuji owners could prefer Zeiss lens instead of their own cheaper Fujis… It’s another story for Nex users…
If theses first impressions are confirmed, I bet that the prices of the Zeiss for Fuji are going to decrease much more faster than the Zeiss for Nex…
For instance, just look at the brick wall (yes, always this f***ing brick wall ^^) here…

Sorry. I am looking in the original link and can´t see what you see. Resolution is about the same: no one “much more crispy” than the other. Only colour and contrast are a little better (for my taste) in Fuji. Anyway, let´s wait for in deep reviews.
Zoom at 100%, look at the bricks (especially the lighted ones). Don’t you really see no differences?
On the other hand, the 12mm Zeiss seems to be sharper in the corners (on theses pictures), at the opposite of what I said before…
But the 32 1.8 is worst in the corner and center than the Fuji. Both at f/1.8, in the two first samples, isn’t it obvious?
Agree, we have to wait for real reviews, but i’m a little worried…
