I work with Zeiss in healthcare..and we spend few hundred thousand from them..and the guy i deal with can get me what i want for his cost
i keep saying I wish Canon would get into pathology area. So i can start dealing with them and get some discounts there.
I work with Olympus, Zeiss, Nikon but no canon
Here is a reply I got from Tony Rose at PopFlash. He was quoting Zeiss USA

subject Re: Zeiss ZE 50/1.4
Philippe,
The Planar T* 1.4/50 ZE will ship to us next week and we will likely receive the delivery after the holidays. In this case, we should be in a position to ship later the week of 12/1.
Would a Zeiss C/Y 50mm Planar owner buy this lens, quickly, and tell us the bokeh is good, there is very little barrel distortion, and very little lateral chromic aberrations, over the 50/1.4.
I have a C/Y 50mm Planar, the better of two that I bought. It's nice, certainly more pleasing than the Canon 1.4, but not something that makes me smile everytime I think about it.
I recently obtained a ZF 50 makro, and it eats the CZ for lunch, in every way. (although one could almost complain that it's TOO sharp for some subjects) So, I think Zeiss technology has been improving quite a bit lately. (as you would expect.) I am quite excited to check out the ZE 50.

Yes, I too am waiting on the ZE50Makro. I hope it doen't grow too much in weight as the ZE85/1.4 did.
