The zeiss lenses in other mounts are the results of the
Cosina/voigtländer /Zeiss agreement, most of them are zeiss design
manufactured by cosina with Zeiss standards... they are new version of
the old zeiss formulas (Biogon, Planar, Sonnar) and are still some of
the best lenses available in their focal lengths...
The revival of Zeiss through the new RF body gave birth to an actualised
version of the classical zeiss lenses (this time in M-mount), the design
are more of less the same than the G-series lens, since they had the
lenses they decided to produce them for Nikon mount... and may be on
special order for OM...
In the range, you find
The biogon 21 (produced in germany)
The biogon 24, biogon 28, biogon 35, planar 50/2 and sonnar 50/1,5
produced in Japan
The sonnar 85 (produced in germany)
All those are excellent and half the price of their leica equivalent...
for the same quality (even better for the biogon 21 and the sonnar)
Personally, I use the old ones (original zeiss for contax) on my leica
with an adapter or directly on a bessa R2C... and I like them... 85/2
has the most fabulous bokeh... (by the way, the zuiko 85/2 and the
nikkor are direct copies...)
And anyone who had played with a biogon 21 (I've got one on a contax G2)
knows what a wide angle should be...

Not the Zeiss branded lenses being provided in other mounts for Nikon
and others, I trust.
