It looks definitely worse than my copy, even though I can't compare at 24mp.
Well, since we're discussing about this lens, it might make sense to quote one of the latest rumors from SonyAlphaRumours.com:

Very rumour, anyway they are talking about a new edition of the SEL1670Z (weather sealed, but with also different size, so it would be a redesign). Perhaps they are addressing some faults.
In any case, the past year told me (not only for the SEL1670Z, and not only for the things that have been said here) that the Zeiss blue badge doesn't live up to the expectations.
