Canon flange ø 54 mm, Nikon 47 mm, Contax 48 mm.
There was a manual focus Planar 85/1.2 for a jubilee edition (meaning, Zeiss celebrated the couple of extra bucks flowing in... ^_^ ) And I'm sure, in some safes still are 85/1.2 jubilee edition Planars waiting for daylight - or more precise, the lights of an auction because of mint condition. I don't expect a lot of photographers who need to earn the money they spend would blow easily so much money on a highly impractical lens.
I don't see a reason, why one mm would make a huge difference in vignetting. But I also don't see the reason to buy a bloody manual focus lens with f/1.2, so if anyone asks for reasons, I just pass the question forward to people who love this kind of characteristics. :lol:
weaknesses viewed as "characteristics"? Well, it's cheaper to let the marketing trainee write a characteristic poem than to redesign a weak design properly.
