Leica is what I would do if I want MF. MF body and a MF lens. Canon does everything possible to make people stop using Zeiss lenses - they even no longer allow to replace a focusing screen.
I just replace my focus screen on 5d3 with super matt type, I can also choose other manual focus screen to be replace with. Its just a 10 minutes job.
Anyone have any insight as to the availabilty of the Otus 55/1.4 in the ZE mount? My local camera store indicated to me today that stock is really scarce and no one at Zeiss Canada can give him any prediction of availability except sometime in 2014.

Aden Camera in Toronto had some stock I belive in ZE mount, I picked up my copy from them in April.

Depending on which shots we examine, the Otus sometimes has very high levels of vignetting wide open.
That's the one thing that Zeiss couldn't exorcise from their 35mm line, Otus included- though one could accept the extra vignetting as part of their signature 'look', and it can usually be corrected easy enough.
Still, definitely glad Sigma saw fit to try and tackle it, though it is a little worse in the Art than it was in the EX.

Zeiss could have exorcised it, at the expense of either i) a higher price tag for the same resolution and contrast across the field; or ii) a drop in resolution and contrast at the same (or lower) price tag.
