First leaked image of the Zeiss Otus 50mm f/1.4 lens!

What you see here is the first image of the Zeiss Otus 50mm f/1.4 lens (preorders open here soon). This is the RF mount version, and as you know E-mount version will be available too. It’s definitely going to be manual focus only and I speculate the price will be around $4,000 like the original OTUS DSLR lens series.

Announcement will happen on February 25 at 13:00 London time!

Thanks to the tipster ;)

New image of the Zeiss Full Frame E-mount lens

Zeiss just posted this teaser image for the new Full Frame E-mount lens series that will be announced on February 25. You can see the aperture and focus ring. I strongly suspect those lenses are manual focus only.

One new source shared some more additional details: Don’t know yet if he can be trusted 100% but I got the feeling he might be telling me the truth ;)

The new Zeiss Foto lenses are going to be f 1.4
The focal lengths are going to be different to the old Otus lenses. Especially the short focal lengths are going to be significantly smaller and less heavy. Among the first releases is Sony e-mount, that’s already certain but other mounts are possible and talks with camera manufacturers are ongoing.

Zeiss will announce a new OTUS E-mount lens series on February 25

Zeiss posted a second teaser for an announcement happening on February 25. Like I told you last week I am near certain we are getting a newly designed OTUS series for Full Frame mirrorless system cameras. This will include certainly the E-mount :)

The original OTUS series for DSLR cameras had four lenses:

It is possible that Zeiss will keep the same basic specifications but make the lenses much more compact.

More info (and great feedback!) on the upcoming new Sony 16mm f/1.8 G lens

This is a new info about the Sony 16mm f/1.8

It’s an Amazing lens, impressive image quality for a G lens.
Lighter than the 20mm and 5mm shorter than the 20mm, so it’s really small and light weight.
Coma could have been better and if you a Astro nerd corners could have been a bit better,
but in general it’s super impressive for its size and weight.

This lens is offered at a price of 999 euros and in my opinion could be a real bestseller!

Rumor recap: On February 26 at 3pm London time Sony will announce these two new lenses:
