"Are they suggesting that no one should ever try to make a 135mm lens again?"

You could make one that was faster. You could make one that was cheaper. You could maybe make one that was...

You can't really emulate shift digitally either. Both ways can be used to keep lines straight, but the composition isn't the same.

If there's a perfect lens in the world, it's the Canon 135 f/2L. Why Zeiss wants to compete with that is beyond me. Maybe they're designing a camera in the back room somewhere?

Looking at the exposures, I'm wondering if it's the dark line that's the problem, or the rest of the photo. What happens at f/11?
