I just sold my Zeiss 135 ZF.2.
For the same reason I would never go with the Otus. Lack of AF.
The images that are in focus are wonderful. But the rate of mishits (in my genre, due to a moving model for example) is just to high.
If you ask Zeiss why they don't do AF, they say that todays cameras do not focus exact enough to achieve the critical focus that is needed.
I just coming back from a trip to Vienna, where I did some outdoor fashion with the 70-200 2.8 VRII - almost every image is spot on with my trusty D800E.
I really don't get it why they just design their lenses with AF and let the user decide what is best for the moment.
