Golden time of E60 can be undermined by the new Z55/1.4 soon
I hope, but don't think so. The beauty of E60 is not just raw optics performance but its rendering. I am not sure Z55 will be the same, not to mention the monster size for a prime lens you want bring everywhere. If they can design Zeiss 35mm 1.4 at Leica 50lux E60 size, I will be all over it.

Well I can say that for me, this lens will not exist even after its release. But for a part of people no doubt it will be popular. They promise an unprecedented optical performance.
I think you're right. Impressive from the prelim results.
I can honestly say I look forward with great interest to only 2 lenses. This is Xenon's 35 & 50. I assume on the optical schemes they will have an interesting bokeh. Maybe...
Lovely, Dave. With the exception of the distortion at the widest end (which is really just a hair worse than either the Summilux or Summicron R 35s) it's a tough lens with which to find fault. I've actually been thinking that this lens and a Speed Booster might be the perfect walk around lens for the NEX 7.
More R images taken from Glen Affric and Glen Cannich, in the Scottish Highlands. From my limited experience to date, the R primes have the edge over the zooms even stopped down, but for my hiking needs, the 28-90 & 80-200 zooms are the lenses in the rucksack.
