Zeiss Set To Launch New Zeiss Ventum Lens Series For FF Mirrorless (EDIT: it’s not!)

Zeiss Ventum

EDIT: it seems the Zeiss Ventum lenses will not be for mirrorless systems but for drones or surveillance. My bet is for drones since “Ventum” in Latin means “wind”.

Mirrorless Rumors leaked an image of what seems to be a lens of a new lens line-up by Zeiss, the Ventum lens series.

According to rumors, the Ventum lenses will be for full frame mirrorless system, i.e. for Nikon’s Z and EOS R systems.

Stay tuned.

Zeiss Otus 100mm f/1.4 lens to be announced before Photokina 2018

Otus 100mm

A rumor reported at Nokishita suggests Zeiss will soon release a Zeiss Otus 100mm f/1,4 lens. The announcement should happen before Photokina 2018.

The Zeiss Otus 100mm f/1.4 has an APO Sonnar design, and is said to have already undergone field testing. It will come four Canon and Nikon mounts (sorry Sony folks). Filter diameter is 86mm.

Zeiss Otus lenses are a lot of things but not inexpensive, so expect the Zeiss Otus 100mm f/1,4 to be in the same price range as its siblings.
