Yikes! 😱 😱 . And I thought my Summilux 75/1.4 was expensive, back in the day. No doubt it's a wonderful lens. But at that price I doubt I'll ever know. I'd love to see some shots, though. (Hint, hint.)Ffordes are still listing it at £2,499
I'm really puzzled by Zeiss:
The whole ZM line is kind of "Leica quality for reasonable price".
And then, this lens, in a focal length not that popular in RF, priced totally crazy.
I just don't get the logics...
Andy, this is a really great image...From the Contax RF Sonnar f2/85mm View attachment 85298
I find it an odd lens as well. Zeiss basically re-issued the Sonnar f1.5/50mm from the Contax era flaws and all. Why not do the same with the Sonnar f2/85mm? I have the original Opton 85mm it's a great lens with a classic look... flaws and all. The ZM sonnar 85 is not even a Sonnar :? I would love ZM version with modern T* coatings Classic Sonnar f2/85. Considering that it is a relatively simple design Zeiss could offer it for a relatively simple price.
... and seems mighty big and heavy from the images of it.
