Well, I ordered my ZF2 50MP, so I guess that is my latest alt lens. I also bought a Nikkor 16mm f/2.8 fisheye, but since I don't use Canon, this isn't alt. Very silly really, IMO. I think we need to redefine alt somehow, so that for a given lens, it doesn't depend on which camera you have. Something like non-G lenses for Nikon, for example.
Yes and IMO the Zeiss ZE isn't really alt for me that use Canon. They have Canon mount and all the electronic for Canon cameras. And according to Fred's rules they should belong in the "Canon Mount" forum also

i always think anything manual focus should be included here, in addition to all the sigma/tokina/tamron/etc and the really alt stuff.

Here is one from the Contax 85/1.2 60 years. It's worth every penny I've paid for it.

Andrei,
- N I C E ! -
I'm sure you'll enjoy that one - one of the few lenses - along with the 55/1.2 - that I will always want but will never have.
I'm moving opposite of this thread right now - no purchasing - just selling - maybe add a Hasselblad 60mm by the year's end.

Just acquired a Canon FD 50mm f/1.4 SSC along with an EF body for practically nothing. I already have an FDn 50mm f/1.4 but I wanted to compare to see if there was really any optical difference between them.

I am in the same boat... I just upgraded from an a700 to an a850 and now its time to clear out a few lenses to make up the difference in costs. Of course I'm sure this selling trend will have to stop eventually

I got my Zeiss ZE 50 MP today

A ZE 35 f/2.
I thought it might be useful for a trip to Sweden and Norway since it looks like everybody in Scandinavia uses Zeiss glass on their 5D's.

I got a C/Y 35-70/3.4 about a week ago for 350$. I didn't really plan to get one but couldn't resist the price

I got a 75mm f/4.5 Nikkor-SW. Is that alt? It certainly isn't going on a Nikon camera
