Thoughts or "facts"....
The Zeiss gives a slightly warmer colour rendering than the Nikon. The Nikon is more neutral in colour.
The Zeiss is sharper by a very small margin especially towards the edges.
The Nikon costs less and weighs less but is not built as well as the Zeiss.
Both lenses give very good results.
Because the Nikon is smaller and lighter and faster to use I would be inclined to carry and use it more often.
