What Carl Zeiss lens auto focusses on a Nikon DSLR?
@Dr. Iblis
Even if the camera has an AF motor?

Here is a link to Zeiss licensed lenses from 2009

The current Zeiss website.

I don't see an auto-focus lens in the bunch except those made by Sony under Zeiss license
My guess is that if you are going to the expense of buying a Zeiss lens, you will take the time to mount your camera on a tripod and manually focus the lens
Here is the latest announced Zeiss lens and it is manual focus

"Even if the camera has an AF motor?" An auto-focus motor in the lens only works if the lens has a mechanical connection that the auto-focus motor can use.

Answer
I think it depends on which professionals you are talking about. Most professionals are working in news, stock, some weddings and celebrity photography, and in those cases, dSLRs are the best choice, like from Canon and Nikon. But if you are talking studio photography and weddings, primarily, then I think yes, the Hasselblad system with Zeiss lenses holds a special place for those pros. Things have changed in the last few years, though, due to the transition to digital.
Hasselblad's newest cameras do not use Zeiss lenses, but those made by Fujinon. And they are outstanding.
I've personally used a 503cw with Zeiss lenses and it is very very nice equipment, and of course very expensive. I'm hoping to see digital backs for these cameras come down further in price, and when they do, there will probably be thousands sold because there are countless 500-series cameras out there.
