New Zeiss SLR List Prices

[RJBender]

Even if the lens is marked Rollei Planar and not Zeiss Planar this seems very hard to believe, as an outrageously cheap feature in a supposed top-quality lens. Truly only three aperture blades??

Hey R.J. - where've you been?

On another thread I noted that it's interesting to see Zeiss/Cosina is now producing imitation Nikkors! 😀

Imagine spending $100 more for a Cosina-made/Zeiss-badged 50/1.4 MF F-mount than getting the "real McCoy" Nikkor!

As they say, "A fool and his money...."!

I gather you have never used Zeiss glass (or are just some troll).

As a reminder to folks -- even in the Yashica/Contax days, most of the common lenses were manufactured in Japan in a Yashica/Kyocera factory under strict Zeiss control -- and yes, these "Made in Japan"-lenses knocked the %$# out of everyone else's SLR lenses, which is why they still command very high prices to this day...

Cheers,
Mike
