Has anyone tried out the Zeiss lenses? (Nikon or Canon Mounted).
Interesting, well I wonder is this quality of Zeiss same as the Sony ones (as in Zeiss for Sony dSLR)?

Anyone know what the Nikon D-60 equivalent for this lens would be?

Here's a page full of lenses so you can compare:

Yes, same German Optics company...

They started making lenses for Nikon F-Mount, Canon EF, Pentax K, and their Screw Mount.

They also make lenses for Sony Cameras

The new Zeis probably are of the same quality. But some old Zeis, which were very expensive years ago, may be superior. It seems that some Canon uses are buying these old lenses to use on Canon EOS. Some are doing the same with some of the old and high quality Nikor lenses. The Nikor 55mm f/1.4 was a great lens. I still have one of them along a Nikon F3 HP.
