today is a good day. shortly after nikon announces that they will stop manufacturing a bunch of film slrs + manual focus lenses, zeiss announces a new line of lenses in nikon f-mount. i'm a big fan of high quality manual focus glass such as leica and zeiss due their stellar performance in terms of (corner-to-corner) sharpness, high contrast, tonalities and superlative bokeh. i cannot wait to get to try them out.
