True that the 85/2 is the one that will benefit the most from ZI's efforts 
to improve focusing precision. But that overlooks the fact that it is a 
whole new RF world. Everyone can interchange everyone else's products. 
Imagine an SLR world where Nikon users could choose their favorite Canon or 
Pentax lens & vice versa. It really doesn't matter if the Zeiss line carries 
a 50/1.4 at this time. Once it caught on, CV began churning out a handful of 
new lenses every year. The fact that Zeiss isn't producing an ultra-fast 
lens right now is irrelevant. Let's just see where this goes.

By the way - just to knit pick - for those who jumped on my comment about 
Zeiss speed philosophy, what I said was: "EXCEPT FOR THE OLD SONNARS, the 
Zeiss philosophy has never been too involved with the speed race." LOL
