    Hi Timur. Are you going to put something up on your website? Of course the CP.2 s have lost some of the advantage that you speak of by being limited in their T stop though I guess they have gained the advantage of having proper mechanics.

    Please try to get your hands on new Zeiss 50mm MACRO. I am thinking of 28mm,50mm MACRO and 85mm. Can somebody find out if ZEISS will release NEW 18mm soon? I hope it will be T2.1...

    I have a the 28, 35, 50, 85 and I am still waiting for the 100mm all T2.1.
    I also have the new Light weight zoom 2 15.5-45mm. All lenses match really well, they are sharp, nice bokeh and best of all, match other Zeiss lenses including my MK 3 super speeds and also Ultra prime lenses.

    I wouldn't buy the 18,21 or 25mm as they are making T2.1 versions ( I was told this from 2 separate suppliers in australia).

    T2.1 is perfect for most situations and from my tests the lenses are just as sharp from T16 to T2.1

    I hope so, but apparently they are releasing a 15mm T2.1 first and I have one on order. I would really like to see them release a 135mm

    For the price they are hard to go past and the feet focus scale is accurate which my CA loves!

    Anyone care to comment on how the Duclos compare to the CPs mechanically?
    Cheers
