Does anyone have experience with these three lenses? I would use them on a Sony A900. I've seen lots of opinions on them separately but none where they were compared.

I had both the 80-200mm f4 Zeiss and the 80-200mm f4 leica. I keep the Leica and sold the Zeiss. The leica is better built and has same mount as the rest of my Leica R lenses. I didn't want to deal with Zeiss various thickness Zeiss/EOS adapters out there so I sold it. You can go wrong with either. The Zeiss 70-210mm si a collector item and price varies quite a bit - made in Germany.

Mike, i have had both and still do the leica one. it is a much better lens. though for the price you should consider the sigma 70-200 or for a little more the sony g version.
i use the leica 80-200 on a r9/dmr so no stop down is needed
