Did you see the DOF markings on the 100/F2 ZF ?? The only ones that show up are the F11 and 22, very selective focus....

Hmmm... 18mm... I smell a digital (non Full frame) Zeiss coming...

That would make sense..
After all; CV already have the design/layout from the RD-1 so it should be easy to incorporate that into a Zeiss body I would think.

1.6 crop factor? no thanks :D
 
DOF markings: At any given focus distance (as seen from center mark pointing to the distance on barrel of lens), the two marks on either side (lined up with the aperture value) is the depth of focus as read from the focus ring.

Once you know that "ballpark" visually on your barrel, then you can play with hyperfocal distance. But this is much more effective with wider lenses.
 
The depth of field markings? The F-stop markings that tell you what should be in focus at each apeture. Most of my lenses have most of the apetures marked the 100/2 has only the f11 and f22. You should be able to get razor sharp selective focus with lens....

And now they can get Kodak to make them the imager (unless Leica totally patented the one Kodak made for them) and hopefully stick a $3000 price tag on it.

Probably not much, it is too "tight" to mark it on the barrel, I would assume, unless you are totally stopped down.

Well.. I bet ya; if Zeiss/CV want to make some bucks.. that's how they'll do it. People will eat it up.... Mr K; while he should be lauded for bringing back RF photography in an age where digital P&S and SLRs are becoming/have become the norm, is still a businessman - and in the end, his company and any partnerships they may have with other companies (Epson / Zeiss ) is all about making a profit.

Maybe a different sensor can be used - but I don't think a full frame digital RF / will be viable just yet. So.. they stick with what they have for the time being...

dcsang : Zeiss are not in trounle as leica was (is) so they have no demand in digital body! until system is mature and they can put full frame onboard..
