went w/ the 25

That Domke seems to be the most compact bag for a rangefinder and one
or two lenses. I might get one also, though when I saw one in person the
zipper seemed to get in the way of accessing the camera. Maybe I just
need to get used to it.

Joe, care to share your thought processes in selecting the 25? Just curious.

i'm not much of a deep thinker...

first was my own experience...i liked some of the results with the canon 28/3.5 lens and wanted to investigate a wider than 35 perspective on a more regular basis.
while i was very tempted to stay with a 28 from a comfort level and that the zi has fl that fit a 28, i also wanted to try something new and i have less experience with wider than 28.
the 25 is getting some excellent press, in terms of sharpness/performance.
of course so is the 28 but the 25 seems to have a bit more buzz.
i think if i don't like/can't use well the 25 i can sell/trade for a 28 with less of a hit to my budget.
also, i am thinking of a 3 lens set for the zi and i thought 25/35/50 was a better kit. i am already saving for the 50 zm lens.

all that and the info from this thread and i ordered a 25...
 
I am sure you will enjoy this lens, Joe. This would have been my choice, too. Did you get the VF?
 
In Nikon SLR's, I always preferred the 24 to the 28. 28 is close to 35. 25 is closer to 24. Good Choice.

gonna try w/o the finder for now.
zeiss fan has been doing ok w/o one so i'll try also.

the zeiss finder is more pricey than most of my lenses so i might try the cv finder if anything.

When I read the posting title, I thought Joe got a VC 25mm/4 lens, but it seems he got "the" Zeiss lens. Congrats, Joe. Now shoot thousands of beautiful wide angle photos with this lens and show us what we are missing!
 
seems the 25 is 'vacationing' in vancouver at customs...
