Subject: [Leica] New Zeiss lenses compared against Leica

I just looked at the www.zeissikon.com site. Actually it's a 2/50 design, 
not a f1.4.
So, yeah it's probably in the same ball park as the 2/50 Summicron, since 
they are
of a very similar design (Planar/Gauss).

I am aware of that, Feli - I am also aware, as are you, that they can
put any label they want on something, yet it can be radically changed
from the original design. I may well be completely wrong - but I
seriously doubt that given the major push Zeiss is making, they're going
to put out a 50 1.4 that isn't the equal of the latest Leica M lens. But
as I said, I may be very wrong.
