Considering it's longer and (25%) heavier than the Makro 2/100...it should probably have a tripod mount.

[/quote] The lens doesn't seem to offer floating elements as its CYMM predecessor did. At least I couldn't spot a mention. I am wondering whether Cosina lacks the technology for this. I noticed similar with the Cosina produced Zeiss lenses for Hasselblad. While the original ones had floating elements the Cosina produced ones do not seem to offer this any more. Anyone here knows? Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 1,4/35 - Guest - 09-01-2010 Hmm ... I was hoping Zeiss would bring out an alternative to the 35/2, due to the fringing issues on that lens. I can't imagine this one will be any better in that regard, and it's actually too big/heavy for me. Perfect would be a 30mm about the size of the Voigtländer Ultron 40/2.
