Hmm, I only see photos made from a plane, made when the light was good (low, early sun). MF lenses do not come with airplanes. Zeiss lenses donot come with planes.
There is nothing special about the photos' in terms of the lens used. It would NOT make a difference if you used another brand lens, AF or not. Do not let a photograher's skill and knowledge get confused with what a certain lens brings. You like the viewpoint (airplane) light (early/late) and skill/eye of the photographer, it has nothing to do with the lenses used.
Of course, some (most?) Zeiss lenses are very good. Some Voigtlander lenses are good too. Some Canon lenses are very good, some Nikon lenses, even some Sigma lenses. Difference of these with the Zeiss and Voigtlandenr lenses is that they ALSO offer AF when needed.
The choice is totally up to you, just do not get succered into thinking you buy skill with a certain lens. A skilled photographer can make great images with whatever lens from whatever brand.

Recently I have been contemplating on pros and cons of MF lenses, most of them currently in production seem to be of very high quality, especially Zeiss and Voightlander, which is confirmed by quite of the reviews in this site.
I wonder what is your experience with this? Is the lack of AF big trouble to you? I consider some Zeiss primes for landscape photography. Recent newsletter of theirs reveals some very inspiring results achieved:
