Zeiss ZE mount or ZF 50 f1.4
Which mount I should get it ?? Is it true canon (ze) mount has not aperture manual ring ,and just Nikon version offer it ???
All the time I am thinking to get sony la-ea 2 ,so maybe I should wait up to next year ,zeiss make them with A mount ?
Other hands I wish to easily adapting lens to new body (canon,nikon ) if I will have to.

You're correct, ZF for aperture ring, ZF.1's don't have the electronic contacts and are a real bargain compared to the ZF.2's. Of course they focus the "wrong" way since its a Nikon lens. :o)
 
ZF mount for Nikon by a mile. It's much more universal since it has aperture ring. Nikon mount is the most widely adapted overall. With the Canon ZE mount, you will need a Metabones adapter to make it work. ZF Nikon mount is much more future proof as well.

The reverse focus does not bother me at all. I just make a mental note of it, and all is good. I have Canon lenses as well, and it doesn't really confuse me.

Thanks but I have chance to get it here in Europe . One time I bought lens in USA and I had to pay vat tax later . You have everything much cheaper but not for European . Example : In B&H is very good offer (to the end of year) for fs100 . I wish to have chance get it here in the same price . Is anyone try to change mount in carl zeis I mean ZF mount to sony alpha ? I found web-side http://www.leitax.com/Voigtlander-lens-for-Sony-cameras.htmlPlanar5014ZF2.jpgbayoneta.jpg

Instead of use many adapters it let me use only one La-ea2 + some alpha lens + zeiss . What do you think ?? Is it gonna works ??? Is anyone try ???
