Zeiss doesn't produce lenses for sony, they merely design them given sony's time and budget constraints.

….which might explain why the quality control that one would expect from a zeiss made lens is not obvious from sony versions of zeiss lenses (and i speak from experience here)….so my wording above was wrong….

 

….but, my approach to everything has been….'if you can’t do it right, best to not do it at all'….and, although i might be speaking out of turn(again), seems to me (from experience) that sony professional products are quite a different company from sony consumer gear, unfortunately….so the nice blue zeiss logo should have underneath an orange logo with ‘zeiss designed, sony built’ maybe….now have i stuffed up this thread enough yet?….promise to keep my fingers off the keyboard from now on….
