Ken's writing may be controversial, but he does provide samples. "A picture is worth a thousand words" as the saying goes. The 14-24 may be best in its class, but that doesn't make it the best at a particular application which Zeiss targeted here.

And from the first picture, with the moiré sample, it clearly is not as good as he states. Lateral CA bottom left corner, soft in top left. Terrible light fall-off.
BTW, moiré becomes more of a problem when downsizing a picture, something he thinks works the opposite way.
Kind regards, Wim
