Confirmed: Zeiss Ventum 21mm f/2.8 E-mount is a lens for aerial applications

Nokishita confirmed what we reported weeks ago: The new Zeiss Ventum 21mm f/2.8 is an E-mount lens meant to be used for aerial applications. It’s a stripped down Loxia 21mm lens: that is made to be as light as possible. Zeiss advertises this lens as:

– Lightweight lens for new perspectives
– excellent for aerial applications
– Fixed focus settings to reduce number of moving parts
– Splash-water and dust-regstant lens housing

The lens should be announced shortly…
