Perhaps my statement is biased. Call it my personal opinion.
Judged by samples I have seen here and elsewhere, I would say that Zeiss is not Zeiss like 20 or 70 years before.
I don't want to dig deep in image quality, everyone can judge by samples which are available here.
Something for me very important is the haptical perception. I have some Zeiss Contax lenses and few ZM lenses. There is a difference between them.
The old Contax lens seems rocksolid, very pleasing, build for the eternity. Then the new ZM with the shiny chrome ring (for lens shades, I know), but for me it looks ugly and is attracting attention, the metal focus ring, the metal finish. Everything feels and looks cheaper (more chinese ).
I have had problems with my Biogon 25 and C-Sonnar 50. Loose barrel after two weeks on the Biogon, I had to fix it every day after focussing 60 images, taking of the lens and tighten the barrel screw. Then the C-Sonnar, it is impossible to focus smooth, the ring reminds me on the Jupiter-9 at -10°C. Something I was not expecting from Zeiss.
Things have changed, everywhere. German cars are not german anymore and so is Zeiss. I don't want to blame Zeiss, it's the market, the shareholders, the customers, competitors. _________________

I see, just blame them if they are deserve it. Germany is not handle by Germans any more.We can see it at many areas damn it.
I think same their products not even same than 20 yrs before, big shame... Money, money never enough for any company Microsoft (shit) did start this strategy make almost good items and people have to buy next ones always. Pretty sad Zeiss is in this line... Ask high price for lens and provide every quality control... or even worst products... _________________ -------------------------------

I didn't find this explicitly stated anywhere, that's why I asked. =) |
