Absolutely Frank! The other ones should be referred to as ZM lenses And
usually are. Should the 15mm and 85mm get referred to as "Zeiss" lenses no
ones going to care; mainly because the 15mm and 85mm ARE Zeiss lenses. They
are made by Zeiss. And to its customary tolerances. And with its customary
high end glass choices.
And they compete with Leica very well. Its anybody's guess which is better
or more worth getting.
Short supremeo teles:
Zeiss ZM 85mm f2 Sonnar or the Leica 90 APO ASPH Summicron?
High end Superwides:
Zeiss ZM 15mm f2.8 Distagon or the Leica 18mm f/3.8 ASPH?
None of the above are going to be less than stupendous leaving the run of
the mill Canon and Nikon and Cosina stuff in the dust.
You get what you pay for.
