There were different pictures on the zeiss webserver that have been replaced in the last hour by this one: http://tinyurl.com/926jp This means there's really something going on the zeiss server. It the same procedure like with the ZI RF camera and ZM lenses; I guess they do that intentionally to keep the lists and forum gossip going on. One picture showed a 85/1.4 lens called Zeiss Ikon ZF with serial number 000000. The look was very, very close to the make of the ZM lenses and that means Cosina might be involved. Another picture showed a classic manual Nikon SLR body. That's why I'm quite shure these new ZF lenses are in Nikkor F mount, no autofocus, no hypersonic motor, and no Canon. But I can second Mehrdad that manual focus lenses will rather not sell like sliced bread amongst DSLR users. Didier
