Diglloyd posted his first impressions about the new Zeiss Otus 85mm lens:
The Otus 85/1.4 APO-Planar delivers the most transparently beautiful imagery I have ever seen on a DSLR…Including medium format Leica S, and the best Pentax medium format lens, the 90/2.8 macro. The Otus 85mm /1.4 APO-Planar sets a new standard all its own.
The Swedish site Fotosidan (google translation here) posted a short comparison with the Nikon 85mm lens:
Some bright lenses are deliberately drawing a soft at maximum aperture to get nice and soft background blur (bokeh). Zeiss has managed to combine high clarity with nice bokeh, see example image.
The lens can be preorderd at BHphoto with Nikon mount (Click here) or Canon mount (Click here) version.
