That's very interesting. Do you refer to the number of elements, groups, asph.elements etc and their relative placement? Zeiss copying Minolta, bummer. Maybe they even bought the old designs for a lump sum? And soon the 35/2 or 100/2 or 200/2.8 returnsparaxis wrote:If you look at the Optical formula of the new Zeiss 16-35 it looks a LOT like the 17-35 2.8/4.0 and the 11-18 and almost nothing like anything "Zeiss" ever made. For that matter the 24-70 shows remarkable similarities to the design of the 24-85 and 24-105....
