Zeiss-teaser-for-Photokina-2014
Zeiss updated their Photokina teaser – we can now clearly see the two Loxia lenses that were already announced. There are at least two more lenses that are yet to be unveiled. I believe at least one of them will be a new 85mm f/1.4 Otus lens (a new 24mm f/1.4 Otus is also a possibility). Zeiss may also introduce their promised ZM lens from 2012.
