"...they don't like partial stop lenses" ?
I recall a Planar 85/1.2 for a Contax RTS jubilee edition (okay, those kind of rare stuff tends to be kept in a wooden box in a safe...), a Tele-Tessar 200/3.5, a Mirotar 500/4.5, a Planar 50/1.7, a Distagon 15/3.5 - Zeiss is not afraid of partial stops...
And I agree very much with " they haven't figured out how to make a 1.2AF with decent quality". Other way round: If the 58/1.4 comes for around US$ 1700, how much would they have to ask for 1/2 stop faster?
