Yes
I`ve heard so much about how sharp this lens is if any of you that own this lens could tell me there own personal reviews it would be great.
As before I purchase one I`d like to know if I`m going to benefit from doing so as I was also thinking of buying the 24mm f1.4 mk11 its which one would be the better choice
I use for landscape either 16-35 f2.8 mk11 , 24mm ts-e mk11 or 24mm f1.4 mk1 using a canon 5d mk2 body
how does the zeiss compare to any of the above

Any info would be very helpful

In my opinion the ziess is pin sharp! They can't be beaten!

I have this lens, it was not all rosey though but it is now. I was very soft in the corners after a small bump and now its very sharp accross the frame. A few discussions with those that use them extensively have said they can soften in the corners, check images at 100% view and if any issues Ziess will fix it for you.

Ziess will be sharper than all 3, but the TSE probably the most useful. 21mm is very wide and good for big close mountains
 
Thanks you for the information I like to hear people's reviews better than what you sometimes read elsewhere
 
It produces similar quality to an un-shifted TS-E24 MkII (I currently have both) and is far ahead of the 16-35MkII and 24/1.4 MkII (both of which I've also used). If it has a downside then it's the amount of light falloff into the corners at larger apertures (this can be an issue indoors but it's negligible at typical landscape apertures).

I'm sure that all the lenses mentioned will do the job adequately but the Zeiss will stand up better when you start to get picky.
