Quote:Well, it has 3 ED elements and the MTFs are pretty awesome.ED elements are not that expensive... Just different properties glass? Aspherical elements and big curvature elements, thos are more expensive to fabricate. And fluorite.
And we are talking about Zeiss here.
Indeed we are talking about Zeiss. However, lets look at Zeiss themselves.
Manual focus, 85mm. Zeiss Milvus 85mm f1.4!
It has 11 elements of which 3 ED elements. It is an f1.4 lens, meaning much larger lens elements. Which shows in the weight: 1280 grams. Price? $1649
This 85mm f2.4 Loxia has a silly price even for Zeiss standards?
