Does anyone think there's a chance Zeiss will reissue any zooms in the Ni/Eos/K/M42 mounts?
The 35-70, and apparently the 100-300 Vario-Sonnar too, appear to have that special something to them. My guess is that it depends on what glasses Zeiss used in them. If there are many lenses made of heavy metal glass or glass that is unavailable of other reasons, then they need to be redesigned, which is very expensive making a re-introduction less likely.
Has anyone ever tried this lens on Four Thirds? I had a copy (Paul Yi's former copy) in my Canon crop days...wonderful images, but it's kind of an awkward focal length on Canon crop. It'd make a nice short telephoto zoom on Oly though...
... but it is definitely a nice piece of glass.
