It's incredible but whether you'd use it enough to justify the cost is another question. I felt the same way about the Zeiss 100 f2 and finally broke down and bought it. I used it a lot at first, of course, but once the new lens smell wore off I found I didn't use it nearly enough to justify the money I had tied up in it. And too much of the time I DID use it was just to justify it's existence. I really used it very little just as an organic part of my shooting. And I eventually sold it.
But it was an itch I had to scratch. The way I look at it is I rented it for a couple hundred dollars for about a year, which isn't a bad deal. I still have a great Nikon 105 f2.5 that's not much younger than I am and, for how I use that focal length, it's just wonderful for my needs. And a 135 f2.8 AI that's also a great lens. But if I hadn't tried out that Zeiss, I'd still be lusting after one. And now I'm not. So, I'd say if you have the money and you just gotta have it, buy it and see what happens. And if you sell it eventually, you won't lose much and you'll have that behind you and shouldn't have any regrets. And if you use it a lot, you'll love it.
