Looking more at the D28, coz cheaper. How is its performance?

I just got delivery of my D28 yesterday, gonna try it out this weekend. I did have a chance to try out a german D25. Colours were nice, like what you would expect of a CZ, but the sharpness was simply not there. Also, if you read www.contaxinfo.com, you will see a bit of discussion and argument about which of the two are better lenses. I have a suspicion that the D28 is the better buy, if sharpness is what you want, but I 'll reserve my judgement on that until after this weekend.

I'll post a few website addresses for you to ask people who have a lot more experience with CZ lenses when I get home from work.

Thanks... Actually I have posted in Contaxinfo, they say both the D21 and the D28 are good... but I never ask them about D25 though. Please let me know after you have tried the D28. Thanks!
