Has anyone tested/compared Nikon counterparts? Or even seen any good reviews that do this?
Check out Photozone.de and Lenstip too. They have reviewed the Zeiss ZF range.
Is anyone using Zeiss ZF/ZF.2 lenses or Leica R lenses?

I am currently debating whether to purchase the Nikkor AF-S 85mm f/1.4G or the Zeiss Makro-Planar T* 100mm f/2 ZF.2. Since the purpose is primary as a portrait lens the manual focus on the Zeiss is not an issue for me. The reviews on both are very, very good with a slight edge perhaps going to Zeiss for bokeh and the intangibles of color and warmth. One local shop tells me the Zeiss is very good but parts and service are difficult. He suggests sticking with Nikon (but he sells Nikon and not Zeiss). I would like to hear from others with experience regarding these two lenses and also service related comments. The cost difference is only about $150 between the Nikon and Zeiss and at this level that is really pretty minimal.

The Nikkor does as well, to a point. As Beso put, the intangibles are what I look at. At the price for the Zeiss, it doesn't mean much for me - I want the VR & macro of the Nikkor so it's not going to go anywhere.

To ask a question regarding the Zeiss Distagon T* 28mm f/2.0 Lens with ZF.2 Mount for Nikon F vs. the Nikkor 28mm f/1.8 and the 24mm f/1.4. Some opinions regarding the overall performance and experience is appreciated.
My thoughts are this is a nice prime, either on a DX (D400 if it gets here) and FX. Also, I was thinking of using it on a Fujifilm X-E1 with a Novoflex adapter.
And, your help is appreciated. I do know the test of the Zeiss lens shows it is very sharp.
