Since this was the ONLY lens Zeiss introduced for M mount at Photokina, I wonder what kind of pics it delivers? Anyone has any examples yet?
I just looked at Popflash site and it's selling for $877 USD. Makes me think - it better be outstanding for that much money and being 85/4 lens that really is not THAT compact. While I plan on NOT getting one, as I like my Hexanon 90 and Nikkor 105/2.5 for long lenses, I do wonder how well this new ZM lens performs compared to them. So, any owners of this new lens? If so - please show some pics!
 
Held it in my hand at Photokina and shot a couple of frames with it. Not enough to judge it though. Feels nice and reasonably compact and based on these very flimsy premises, would work well as a 35f2.8 C Biogon complementary lens. Hope to have one soon and, though winter gloom is descending over Vancouver, at least we will find out how it performs @f4 this way.
