I've experimented with a lot of different 35mm lenses; perhaps it's simply that none of them are the right focal length for me; nonetheless, all of the photographs, with the exception of there being less noise on the full frame sensor, don't turn out that much better than they do on the iPhone XS. I compared the photographs that were taken with an iPhone XS with a Sigma Art 35/1.4, with a Canon 35/1.4L and a Canon 5Dm2, and with this Zeiss 35/2.8 and a Sony A7S. The field of view of the front-facing camera on the iPhone XS is identical to that of the rear-facing camera, and the color reproduction on the iPhone is much more interesting when it isn't processed. No matter how you adjust the distortion settings in Lightroom, close-up portraits taken with a 35mm lens will always exhibit undesirable distortion. This is because faces captured with a 50mm or 85mm lens will never have the ideal proportions. In general, not mine. while I shoot cityscapes, I don't notice any change at all with the iPhone XS. If there isn't a difference, then there is no reason to produce entities if you already have a phone that is significantly more portable and is always with you while you're out and about. I present samples of images shot in a head-to-head comparison across the cityscape (during a trip) captured on Zeiss 35/1.8 + Sony A7S and instantly on the Iphone XS without any processing in auto mode, JPEG from the camera. Both cameras were used during the same trip. Once more, I checked to make sure that I don't want to photograph at a focal length that is shorter than 55mm; this ensures that the objects in the frame have the appropriate proportions, and that vertical faces are smooth and are not warped by distortion. The Sony 85/1.8 is a fantastic lens for photographing people. This is not the correct approach to take pictures with an iPhone because focal lengths of 55 and 85 millimeters do not cause the geometry to be distorted. And the photo taken from an iPhone with a wide angle lens set to 35mm is perfect for me as an amateur photographer. It's possible that I would have kept this lens if my phone hadn't been equipped with a regular camera. To reiterate, this is not only applicable to one lens, but also to every other 35mm lens that I owned. For the purpose of comparison, I will provide a few additional photographs that were not post-processed and were taken with a Sony 85/1.8 and a Zeiss 55/1.8 lens at the same location so that the difference in the images may be observed. Someone will object how it is, by 35mm if you zoom in you can see pimples on your face if you shoot on 7Rs, but I love 12 megapixel 7Ss and I don't zoom in on pictures to see blades of grass and pimples, I'm interested in the whole photo and not the brand of laces on shoes, and when you print 10x15 photos in an album, there is no difference at all between 35mm and iphone in terms of image quality.
