Interestingly, Zeiss is the only major medium format lens designer left without a MFsystem they supply. One wonders if this will persist.
The Sinar m lenses are Zeiss. They are AF. And also big $$$
Yes, but the Sinar M has been left behind by advancing technology. It might have been an appealing concept a couple years ago, but not any more. The more recent Sinar HY6 platform is superior in almost every way (at this point the ability of the M to use Nikon 35mm lenses is of trivial value -- the adapter costs more and is less functional than just buying a D700). I suspect it will fade out of the line-up as Sinar focuses on the Hy6 platform. So Zeiss\' tiny (minuscule, really), insignificant, remaining medium format role, will disappear to nothing.
