If there's a systematic error, and it does sound like there is indeed, Zeiss will of course fix it. After all, all their other Batis lenses work with Eye-AF and I don't think it's their intention to make one lens work differently. But it might be worth to wait a bit and see when this possible issue gets solved. Nothing more frustrating than working the a half functioning lens - my condolences to all of those who already have a lens and cannot get it work...
That's what's really disturbing and disappointing. They told me in the mail quoted above that there's no need to fix anything. If you read it carefully they kind of say it's not the lens having a problem with the camera, it's the camera having a problem with the lens.
"Consisting" doesn't mean that all pictures taken with eye-af aren't sharp. Yesterday I took 43 different pictures, 18 fo them were really sharp. You can even see the problem when just looking through the viewfinder. The focus behaves very nervously, even when the motive dosen't move at all. It jumps from the center of the eye to the eyebrow or start with detecting the nose first as the eye before jumping to the eye.
When using other lenses the subject can even move and it's liked glued to the eye. This one's horrible.
Zeiss doesn't see a problem that's the problem. I will return mine tomorrow. If it were a 200 Euro lens I would accept a (possible) workaround, but not for a lens that expensive and bearing this name (Zeiss!!!!!!!!) which I thought is about quality.
As I said, I appreciate them answering that fast, but it's a "there's no problem" mail which is funny since I got lots of other lenses and not a single one of them once behaved like this.
I still hope that lots of people pop up over the time saying that there copy works perfectly so I can buy again. But reading German forums and also international forums, all of them are pretty unanimously stating the same problem, so I'm not that confident for the moment, especially since the speaker of the company who answered my mail seems to say "that's it".
I'm sad since I have been waiting for this one for a long time and bought it the very first second it was available. Marketing won't be able to boost sales if people who own(ed) it say you can't use it properly. Quiet disastrous.
