Zeiss explains why Milvus lenses are ideal for use on Sony E-mount cameras.

Photographyblog posted the Zeiss slideshow of the official Zeiss Milvus presentation. And made it clear why those lenses are made for Sony E-mount owners too:
– The lenses are manual focus anyway. So by using an adapter you don’t lose anything.
– Smooth precise manual focusing system ideal to use with Sony focus peaking.
– All lenses of the range are color matched. Ideal for video post processing.
– 4K ready (high-resolution power edge to edge) and HDR ready (excellent ghost and flare resistance)
– No need of in camera lens correction. The lenses are already top of the notch.

Sounds like this could be a ncie lens for Sony A7s and Sony A7rII photographer and filmmakers!

Bildschirmfoto 2015-09-10 um 15.59.57

Zeiss just announced a sort of Loxia lens line for Canon/Nikon DSLR. The lens line is called “Milvus”. There is no plan to make those for A-mount but of course you can use those lenses adapted on any E-mount camera. And Zeiss stressed to say that these lenses are made with 4K in mind (it means smooth and noiseless aperture and focus ring). A7s and A7rII owners may be interested in those!

(SR4) Sony will announce seven(!) new lenses on Friday?

Share

The following rumor comes via a trusted source! He told me Sony will announce seven new lenses. He didn’t share any details if among them there will be the rumored “Updated” A-mount lenses. But there will be definitely new E-mount lenses unveiled. Some of the will be available by end of the year and some of them in 2016 only.

So far we heard one FE telephoto lens, one FE  portrait lens, one 24-70mm FE GM are coming. And also two updated 85mm and 135mm A-mount lenses could be announced tomorrow.
