I have both the CP.2's and the ZF's. I used to use the ZF's on my D800 - but now they are my fall back for my F3 When traveling and space is a premium. Plus I sold the D800 and kept the lenses - I actually had them since I was using them on the Letus adapter on my SOny EX3. I have a hard time parting with them. They are great lenses. I also had them outfitted with the Duclos Cine-Mod. I have to say, other than speed - it is very difficult to see the difference between the two lens sets. - the CP.2's are NOT the superspeeds - they are the T2.1 I have the CP.2 85mm, 50mm and 28mm. The ZF's I have the 85mm, 50mm and the 25mm. If someone were to make a great offer - I might be willing to let the ZF's go! Lol! Anyway to answer your question - I too heard that they were the same glass and different housing. It's believable - don't know how true that is. I trust either lens set on a shoot and for the record - I use the Kippon mount adapter for the ZF's on my F3. CJ
