Uwe, if you're not averse to using Schneider glass instead of Zeiss, the Super-Angulon 40/3.5 is a wonderful lens that also has FLE, but you don't have to manually fiddle with an adjustment ring. It's a very compact and very sharp lens with no obvious distortion. I've seen them now and again on eBay for between $2-3000 used, for the 6000 series cameras. Just another p.o.v.
