Uh, I get lots of sharp images with my manual focus lenses. It's not the manual focus of the lens that's the problem, it's the poor optical viewfinders and insensitive PDAF focus confirm indicators in the viewfinder that are the problem.
I had the ZEISS APO for almost 18 months. Only few keepers (25%) out of 100 shots. If light condition is dark and people move I really wonder how to use the lens handheld. Using a tripod is mandatory and mirror slap (D800/E) has some significant influence as well.
I wonder why the D810 viewfinder should be poor? And, of course the PDAF has a +/- drift but this can be trained and with some experience you will know the position where focus is achieved.
The lens itself is exceptional. Wonder as well why ZEISS is not implementing AF since they do it with other lenses.
One reason could be the cheap sales price which holds them up to add AF or VR to the package. They might will come out with an APO-S 5000,- USD version in the long run including these features which are quite standard today.
