Zeiss will announce a new OTUS Full Frame lens series on February 25

Zeiss posted a second teaser for an announcement happening on February 25. Like I told you last week I am near certain we are getting a newly designed OTUS series for Full Frame mirrorless system cameras. This will certainly include the E-mount, but I’m not sure if there will also be an L-mount version. As these could be manual focus lenses…. there’s a good chance they will!

The original OTUS series for DALR cameras had four lenses:

It is possible that Zeiss will keep the same basic specifications but make the lenses much more compact.

Zeiss will launch a new Full Frame lens series for mirrorless system cameras

 

After posting this video on SAR I received an update from a source confirming that Zeiss will be launching a new series of full frame lenses for mirrorless cameras at the Cp+ show. The source has not yet been able to confirm whether this series will also include the L-mount. But I hope to get more information on this soon.

If these lenses are manual focus like the original Otus series for Nikon F/Canon EF, it should not be too much of an effort for Zeiss to make them in a native version for the L-mount.
