I can't wait to see how that 55/1.4 performs on a Dragon EPIC.

They better put some motors, encoders and stabilization in their lenses or they'll be left in the dust- very soon...
And, BTW I'll put the 14-24 Nikkor against ANY Zeiss , any day...

Leica seems to be doing just fine. This new zeiss is not for your average consumer. My guess it will find the market too.

"seems" being the key word haha. Novelty/ brand factor. I know some Leica guys-not surprised at that. You slap that red bug on a herring they tell you it's caviar
Cheaper cameras mean cheaper lenses perception. Not the other way around. Schneider gets it with the Xenons.
The young generation is raised on stabilized AF lenses. They don't know any other. Also "biggest, heaviest (most expensive) lens" does not bode well with "smaller, lighter" camera bodies..
I guess we'll see..
