Very confused
This is truly impressive, but then, as they themselves mention :"Let's just say that this test is relevant to everyday photography the same way the top speed of a Formula 1 race car relates to everyday personal transportation". There is no film in regular use that comes close to that resolution -- 400 lp/mm is the equivalent of about 550MP on a digital FF (i.e. 24x35mm) sensor!

The ZM Biogon 25
If I were to get just one ZM lens, this is the one that I have wished for.
25/35/50, looks like a great trio to me.

my concern with the 25 is the need for a separate finder.
i'm thinking the 28/35/50...

Zeiss officially confirmed that the Gigabit film reaches the 400lp resolution. They use it for lens tests.
If this is reproducable (and necessary) outside of a laboratory is another question.

Would the entire viewfinder (outside of the 28 framelines) approximate the 25mm lens?

FrankS - probably. I looked through both a ZI (black paint!) and the Zeiss 25/28 finder this weekend thank to Tom Abrahammson. There is space around the 28mm framelines in the camera's VF that probably come close to a 25mm. Looking through the 25/28 finder, one realizes that the two fields-of-view are really not that far apart.
The finder is gorgeous, by the way, but expensive. The black paint ZI...yummy!

Bravo Zeiss !!!
I hope Frank Granovski sees this. Cameraquest has had them all along.

I personally don't find an external VF that big of a hassle with a wide lens as my composition tends to get looser the wider I go.

it's not a great hassle and i used them with the p before. it just seems odd that with a modern metered camera to have a vf on top of it.
plus, the zeiss one costs about what the cv 25 lens costs...

The Zeiss Ikon blog by ZeissFan mentions that he uses the ZM 25/2.8 using the entire VF for framing.

Too bad Zeiss doesn't package and sell that film...
