yongfei Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Now the rumor I read is that the Zeiss Ikon uses a ZM mount. The following lenses will be available for 2004: PLANNAR/ZM50/2?ABIOGON/ZM35/2?ABIOGON/ZM28/2.8?ABIOGON/ZM25/2.8. Let's wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael s. Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Film camera with 75mm baselength. Camera in stores in early 2005; distributed by/thru Hasselblad. Four "ZM" mount lenses available very soon, after Photokina; 3 more will follow. Seven lenses in all -- from 15mm to 85mm in length.

mike_elek Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 The comment from the above document regarding lenses:<P> <dir> <b>Focused on the future</b><P> Four lenses -- 50mm Planar f/2 ZM, 35mm Biogon f/2 ZM, 28mm Biogon f/2.8 ZM and 25mm Biogon f/2.8 ZM ? will be available after Photokina 2004. The actual camera will be in stores in early 2005 followed by three additional lenses which will round out the line: Biogon 2.8/21 ZM, Distagon 2.8/15 ZM and Sonnar 2/85 ZM. The lenses have already been developed taking into account the special requirements of a foreseeable digital camera and can be used with all common range-finder cameras -- both digital and analog. </dir> Note the last sentence and the comment about "foreseeable digital camera." Well, if nothing else, certainly is interesting.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leslie_cheung Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 So it is Zeiss vs. Leica again 50 years later. I really dig both of these companies, they don't care sheit about sale pitch and both put out some of the most unsellable gears around. Leica with recent 90mm macro and $2500 50mm lens and now Zeiss with a completely new "revolutionary" 135 filmbased rf. Let's hope the aps size digital zeiss come around before Canon makes a $1500 ff drebel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
