Even so - some of the designs aren't exactly new and originate definitely in a Zeiss design. It may well be that Cosina pushed it in order to utilize their manufacturing plants. However, is there something bad about this ? Seems to be a win-win to me.

Klaus, it was just a joke.
I know it is a win-win solution. Cosina has shown to really know how to master high grade manufacturing, and I do regard that, except from some first examples of FA limited lenses or the SMC Takumar 50-1.4, there are no better lenses for manual focusing out there.
