That is what the Zeiss data sheet for it implies, however they also mention floating elements:
\"As [sic] innovative telelens with floating elements for the M-bayonet it is equipped with an extremely precise, non-linear rangefinder coupling.\"
While looking at the line drawing of the lens, it struck me that its profile is almost identical to the mystery lens at the right side here: http://blogs.zeiss.com/photo/en/?p=5340 that we were speculating to be a 35/1.4.... What I thought was a rear element protrusion might actually be the mount itself if one ignores what looks to be a lens mount flange just above that part... I don\'t know.... Back a couple years ago apparently Zeiss was going to make another batch of the 85/2 but decided not to... it\'s one lens that should be mirrorless compatible as is. They could drop the cam from it and reintroduce it at a lower price. Though it wouldn\'t really make sense to do that and not have it fit in with the Loxia lens design.
