I never drooled and I never marvelled about Otus. It's contradictive to go as high as just possible (with price and performance) and keep on relying on manual focus, at the same time offering the fastest aperture on a Zeiss 100 mm I'm aware of. Usable wide open and a tube of lead to handhold - Sigma at least put a lens collar on their monster.
I really don't know where Zeiss wants to go to, but I've seen each Otus at least once in the second hand cabinets and on the second hand market - the money you can loose with it would buy you a Sigma easily...
