I agree with Marc on the quality of Zeiss lenses. The Contarex line is
still in many respects the benchmark for whole generations of optics. The
4/35 is the lens that approaches the theoretical optimum for its focal
length, so does the the Sonnar 2/85 and the Sonnar 4/135 and the Biogon 21.
I think we should try to be a little less leica-centred and also appreciate
great designs when we meet them
