I received some additional information on the upcoming Zeiss Loxia manual focus lenses specially designed for full frame mirrorless cameras – the first two models that will be announced at Photokina this year will be 35mm f/2 and 50mm f/2. Stay tuned for additional details.
Zeiss has a new Photokina teaser on their blog – it looks like they will be announcing several new lenses. The lens on the top left seems to be for a mirrorless camera, while the big lens on the lower left I think is the new Otus (see Photokina 2014 rumors roundup).
Update: this post has been updated multiple times to reflect the latest Photokina rumors. As you have probably already noticed, I do not post every single rumor that circulates on the Internet for the very simple reason that many websites just post unreliable information and in many cases just plain nonsense. Here is a quick recap […]
Update: B&H now has the lenses back in stock. Starting today Zeiss is offering $800 off when you buy both the 32mm f/1.8 and 12mm f/2.8 Zeiss Touit lenses for Fujifilm X-mount or Sony E-mount. This is basically buy one, get one free deal. Adorama currently has the same offer. The individual lenses are also $200 off.
Sony Japan released an updated Sony FE lens roadmap. Two new lenses were added: Vario-Tessar T* 16-35mm f/4 ZA OSS (SEL1635Z) FE PZ 28-135mm f/4 G OSS (SELP28135G)
Zeiss is rumored to announce a new Otus 85mm f/1.4 lens for the 2014 Photokina show in September. Two new Otus lenses (including a fast f/1.4 wide angle model) were already mentioned last year in interview with Zeiss reps. Zeiss currently has only one Otus lens – the Distagon T* 55mm f/1.4.
I am back from my trip to Boston and Maine for the second annual NikonRumors Forum get together.
