Looks like Carl Zeiss is planning to release some Canon fit primes towards the end of the year.

Hello there

The bit I don't understand is this.

The camera’s automatic focus confirmation also remains available to an unlimited extent with these manual focus lenses.

Are these manual focus lens?

I'm pretty sure they are manual focus lenses, but will give 'focus confirmation' when in focus.

Is it the same lens you showed me on the Bristol meet, the Planar T* 1.4/85.

The one I have is the Sony version and branded, and has autofocus.
(Sony SAL-85F14Z - 85mm F1.4 ZA Carl Zeiss Planar T* lens)

In fact, looking at the specs:

They are very similar (in name), but also very different! (seem to have different number of elements and groups)
