That's even more than what I had in mind when opining that this is a D.O.A. So should I say "D.B.A." (Dead Before Arrival) now? 
P.S. I do understand that at least this one has some objective value (unlike, say, that "Meyer-Optik" branded junk). Just not $2000.
As I had said, it's not nearly as offensive as those "Trioplans" and whatnot.

Quote:It's announced from one dealer here as "world debut". WTF? :mellow: a bloody dull 135/2.8 is already existing in hundreds of variants since decades, if not a full century. Okay, it's the dealer, but they only repeat the marekting blurb coming from Zeiss themselves. It's almost insulting to yell "world debut". Alright, fake news are in fashion, I know.Don't they just mean that it's the debut of this lens? I do agree it's an uninspiring release (at least at face value) but you may still be overreacting a little.
