(SR4) No other new Zeiss Batis lens will be announced in 2015. One new Loxia to be shown at PhotoPlus in October.

loxia-35mm

According to a “Zeiss source” there is no plan to release another new Batis lens in 2015. Their first goal now is to see how good the current two Batis lenses will sell and get a feedback from readers about the prefered future focal lengths. I will do a Poll about that on SAR very soon!

But there will be one wide angle Loxia announcement soon. I have beent told the lens will be shown at the PhotoPlus show in October. The current FE Loxias are based on the ZM line. So the wide angle lens could be too based on one of those:
[shoplink 10875 ebay]Distagon T* 2,8/15 ZM (Click here to see images on eBay)[/shoplink].
[shoplink 9803 ebay]Distagon T* 4/18 ZM (Click here to see images on eBay)[/shoplink].
[shoplink 9804 ebay]Biogon T* 2,8/21 ZM (Click here to see images on eBay)[/shoplink].
[shoplink 9804 ebay]C Biogon T* 4,5/21 ZM (Click here to see images on eBay)[/shoplink].
[shoplink 9805 ebay]Biogon T* 2,8/25 ZM (Click here to see images on eBay)[/shoplink].
[shoplink 9806 ebay]Biogon T* 2,8/28 ZM (Click here to see images on eBay)[/shoplink].

Both Batis lenses are now available for preorder in USA and Europe (UK/Germany)
Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 lens in US at Adorama, Bhphoto. In Eu at Amazon DE, WexUK. In Asia at Digitalrev.
Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2.0 lens at Adorama, Bhphoto. In EU at Amazon DE, WexUK. In Asia at Digitalrev.
