I've been semi-infirm for three months and cannot get around without the use of cane. If the hurricane doesn't belt us tomorrow, I will try to get out and try the Zeiss glass.

I'm not a lens expert, but I'm wondering if it's fair to expect that the new Zeiss line-up will out-perform some/most/all/ of the CV recent offerings? It appears the price will be somewhat higher so we'll have to see if we get the "bang for the buck". The MTF curves on their site would have told me more had I something to compare them to.
