Took the Carl Zeiss Sonnar 85mm f/2 out for a spin at the Esplanade and the results are quite promising. On the Epson R-D1, it's not too difficult to focus and the images across for focusing distance seems quite good.
An interesting point about this lens is that it's actually not a true Sonnar design, but a double gauss design. I wonder why did Zeiss still market it as a Sonnar. Besides this, the only other lens made in Germany by Zeiss will be the 15mm f/2.8. All others are made in Japan by Cosina.
Cheers,
p.s. I didn't get the Nikkor-P.C 10.5cm f/2.5 LTM. Got out bided. Oh well....
