Dear all,
according to a reliable source, Zeiss will announce new Zeiss lenses with Canon mount at Photokina 2008. They will support all metering methods. It seems that the copyright protection of the Canon lens mount will end in 2008.
This would make sense. Zeiss did basically the same with the Leica and Nikon mount, except that for Nikon, the AF system seemed to be still copyright-protected.
If that turns true, this would mean a kind of revival of Contax, just with Canon bodies
Since the Sony-Zeiss cooperation is very disappointed so far, this would be finallly good news...
Greetings
