Subject: [Leica] OT - Zeiss 50mm f/1.4 ZE Planar T* lens

Greetings all,

Has anyone had an opportunity to use this lens on a Canon digital  
body?  I was hoping for a hands on review (particularly as is compares  
to Canon's own f/1.4 50mm lens).

I think the lens is pretty new.  Dpreview doesn't have a review up  
either.  Supposedly it has electrical contacts that preserve pretty  
much every function the Canon digital bodies have, except autofocus.   
Just wondering if it was worth the $600.

Thanks, as always, in advance.

Peace,
Frank Farmer
Jackson, Miss.

P.S. - forgive me if this has already been discussed.  I checked the  
archives and didn't find anything on the Canon EF-mount Zeiss lenses.
