>>129767 Not true. T* just refers to Zeiss' coating formulation, like Pentax SMC, Rollei HFT, Fujinon EBC, or Nikkor Nano Crystal Coat.
The "best" way to judge Zeiss "quality" is to look at what they're attached to. At the top are classic Contax, Hasselblad and Rolleiflex lenses, then Contax C/Y lenses, then ZM/ZF/ZK lenses by Cosina, then Sony's ZA (maybe equal to the Cosina ones?), then Sony compacts. Old Zeiss Ikon cameras fit in between depending on their original target audience.
But then, who gives a shit? Just look at the individual merits of each lens depending on what you're shopping for - compare a Sony compact to a Canon compact, or the ZM Biogon 28/2.8 to Leica's 28 Elmarit. It doesn't matter if it's a "true" German lens. Just make sure it takes good pictures.
