The MTF are impressive, but what's the most impressive is the size of the lens.
It's about the same size and slightly lighter than the Fuji 10-24 f4!
I hate PZ lenses to a passion though.
Do you know what is the lens' native barrel distortion?... 10%! (source: https://www.lenstip.com/154.3-article-Sony_FE_PZ_16-35_mm_f_4_G_%E2%80%93_first_impressions_and_sample_images_Autofocus_and_some_remarks_concerning_optical_properties.html)
Optical distortion was purposedly under-designed in order to take advantage of software processing and thus be as compact as possible.
With this said, what truly matters is the final result and here, it beats "fully" corrected optical lenses such as the Zeiss you mention above.
Food for thoughts...
