We also decided to make these groundbreaking lenses, with the exception of the Biogon T* 2.8/21 ZM, at Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen in Germany. " and the FAQ says "Q: Who manufactures the ZI lenses? A: 2 types are manufactured by Carl Zeiss in Oberkochen, 5 types are manufactured by Cosina in Japan. " So the 15mm and the 85mm are German, Zeiss lenses, and the others are Cosina? I bet that 85 f2 will be incredible!
