That increases the price quite a bit. Everyone knows that it costs manufacturers at leans $300 for a Z, $200 for the e and the i and $150 for each s. So, that adds $1000 just for those letters alone. Since Canon contains none of those letters, it will be about $1000 cheaper. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

M_Six Cream of the Crop  More info | Mar 15, 2013 12:35 | #6 If that's just a rebadged Zeiss Planar, then it's got an all metal body and will last a lifetime. That said, I'll stick to my $300 Canon 50 1.4. Can even recall that last time I had it mounted. Mark J.

Notice this isn't even a f/1.2..... Can we say "profit margin"? This lens seems to be marketed for a select few in the industry. well yeah... its a Sony, not many have those!
