This lens, while priced steeply, appears to have the specs of an absolute cracker. I'm very much encouraged by the 'exceptionally low distortion' statement by Zeiss, and the way it's being presented as a great lens for architectural 'togs. Can't wait for a review, preferably on the 5dIII or D800 ;-)

Well, I'm just relieved that it can take filters.

it takes 95mm filters apparently.
From http://blogs.zeiss.com/photo/en/?p=1567#more-1567
The 95mm filter thread accepts all standard filters.
The lens shade is integrated into the design and helps to protect the lens surface from unintentional damage. The 95mm filter thread accepts all standard filters, including the recently released Carl Zeiss T* UV and POL filters.

You are welcome. But yes I winced at the thought of the price of 95mm filters too. Helpfully though, Zeiss will happily sell you one apparently. :P
Anyway, just had a quick look at B&H and they sell some 95mm B+W filters... 95mm CPol from $250 odd but guessing you would want/need the extra wide version for $300.
Canon-F1:
what no complaining about the price?
what´s up with you guys?
i guess not many want such a lens but can not afford it.. other then the 5D MK3 that many want and can not afford? ;)
diliff:
The question in my mind is this: Given it'll be manual focus, why not just get the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 with an EF adapter, and have the extra flexibility of the zoom? From what I can see, it's the best ultrawide in existence, prime or zoom. I suppose only thing that the Zeiss has in its favour is lower weight and the ability to accept filters. But apart from that, why would I want it, if it isn't significantly better?
