Yes I was surprised by this; I couldn't see an element diagram anywhere either (the old one didn't have a floating element, did it?). I hope they haven't just re-released it with electronics. Diglloyd on his site says that Zeiss had told him it was being optically redesigned.

Where does it say floating elements ?

Nowhere, I guess David just wanted confirmed there were no floating elements on the old one (correct) so there's little hope for these in the new one.

Markus is right; I was just asking for confirmation that the old one had no floating elements because one of the rumors about the re-design was that it would. That way, if I found info that this ZF2 had floating elements, I'd know it was a re-design. Doesn't look promising at this stage though.

They kept the design - ZF.2 is just "checked" on their website among the other mounts. So unfortunately no new design. The field curvature problem remains.
