The M42 is an excellent commercial choice for Zeiss for the reason: with the 
appropriate adaptor one can use the M42 lenses on major DSLR. 
I am using a Sigma SD9 and can take advantage of the many and cheap lenses of 
that mount.

Nick:


        I also count myself among this group, owning only Rollei SL35 and SL35E 
SLRs apart from a lonely Pentax H1a. I am hoping they see fit to release the 
85mm/2.8 Sonnar in M42. I own an example of this lens in QBM but it has a 
faulty diaphragm mechanism. Over here across the pond these lenses are as rare 
as hens' teeth.

still like them!) with adaptors I already own.
 

Thanks for your message,
God bless You.
