What a snore. There are no films or sensors in production that
resolve anywhere close to that. All that wasted resolution does is
aggravate Moiré in your dSLR.

And twice the price of a lens that's just as good in real life
isn't "very affordable".

What was the whine we heard from the FF crowd? "What if Canon
goes all FF and the crop lenses you buy are then useless?"
Same thing here. Maybe sensors could appear that do have the
resolution of the lenses?

You know the Littleboy routine by now Rich...
Pay peanuts, get monkeys.
Crap in = crap out.
No point in buying a $1000 lens if a $200 one is available.

Every experienced Photographer in the world knows the difference between
multiplier\zoom factor and crop factor except him. Why then would you expect
him to comprehend the value of such a lens? It was proven in Television
cameras 20 years ago that lenses which resolve more than the tubes could,
still produced better pictures. This lens is forward looking. No doubt Zeiss
expect sensors in the future to be able to handle this sort of resolution or
maybe they just know that the value of better quality is understood by their
target market?
