FWIW. I 'm going for decentered, The right hand side doesn't look so bad to me (at original size), as does the lower left, the medium/upper left OTOH looks the softest part of the image. Form your description I was expecting much worse, but at a "grand a pop" one expects better!

While I agree regarding a certain degree of decentering, the (right side) corner results shouldn't be that soft across the range.
Not at f/8 for sure. Oh well ....
Oh right, F8! I was looking to find a reference to the aperture, maybe I don't know where to look, as you say not what you expect at F8 with a Zeiss name on it., so the Zeiss badge is not enough you have to have Otus written after it these days!
My guess is all the perfectly centered lenses have gone to heaven, perhaps if I start saying my prayers I'll get to benefit from them in the end! .
I'm looking forward to posting an " Angels in flight series"

I think the summary could be - great primes but Zeiss can't do zoom lenses.

Got a reply from Sony.
Lens is according to specs.
