Darn, not dRF from Zeiss. I only saw the first three words from the title line.

Given that they also made the Distagon 21, which is a super lens, the 18mm seems a little redundant to me. I would have preferred if they revived the Distagon 15 instead.
But anyway compared to what used to originally cost the Contax Distagon 4/18, this is a good price.
