Australian distributor confirms that Zeiss is exiting the Photo Business: No more Batis, Loxia, Milvus or Otus lenses!

Share

Back on Apr 24, 2019 Zeiss announced their last photo lens, the Otus 100mm f/1.4. Since then we got Cine professional lenses but no more classic lenses for photographers.

A member of the Fredmiranda forum shared the following news:

Hi all, I just had confirmation today from the Australian distributor, that Zeiss are discontinuing all of their still lenses and filters: no more Loxia, Batis etc.
End of an era

This means Zeiss no more producing Batis, Loxia, Milvus or Otus lenses!

P.S.: ThePhoBlographer reached out to Zeiss and promised to share some official Zeiss news about this soon!
