It has been out for a few years now. I believe that it is a faithful 
reproduction of the earlier optical formula. Some have had trouble with 
focus shift on it, and I think Zeiss can modify the lens to address that. I 
have trouble getting things in focus with it wide open, as you can see here. 
I was focusing on the eyes, but didn't hit the mark.
