Zeiss to announce new lens(es) on February 25th (new mirrorless versions of the Otus line?)

By PR admin | Published: February 16, 2025

Zeiss published a second teaser indicating that their new lens (or something else?) will be announced on February 25th – right before the start of the 2025 CP+ show in Japan:



There were already rumors of Zeiss exiting the photography business after the company did not announce any photography lenses in 6 years. As I already noted, my uneducated guess is that we will see new mirrorless versions of the existing Otus line. I do not think Zeiss will introduce anything completely new, but I could be wrong. They are looking for an easy revenue stream without spending money on research and development – just like OM System: re-house, promote with influencers, and sell at ridiculous prices.
