Ok, this may be a silly question, but here goes...

I'm intrigued by the Carl Zeiss 16-80mm lens available for the Sony dslrs. I've recently bought the A200 with the kit lens, and am very happy with it. But I can't help wondering what benefits the Zeiss lens would bring. It'll cost more than the camera and lens together cost me, but will I really notice the difference?

Would images from the Zeiss lens be so much better than the kit lens, or just slightly better? Hard to quantify maybe, but any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike.
