A new teaser from Zeiss shows the first images of the new Zeiss E-mount Full Frame Otus lenses!
Zeiss just published the first teaser video where you can see bits of a new lens that will be announced on February 25. What we learn from this teaser:
- It’s E-mount
It clearly shows a lens mounted on a Sony camera (I think it’s this camera). So now we know for sure it’s going to be - Aperture at least f/1.7 (more likely f/1.4?)
In one of the screenshots, I increased the light intensity to recognize the f/1.7 aperture mark. So it will definitely be f/1.7… but maybe even faster as you can’t see the full aperture range in the video. - It’s OTUS
It has exactly the same yellow markings as the original OTUS DSLR lens series. So I assume it is a newly developed OTUS series, perhaps with manual focus like the original series. This series aims to achieve the highest possible image quality. The price of the DSLR series was over $4,000. - Relatively Compact
Unlike the DLSR series the lens looks decently compact.
It is also clear to me from the video that these are manual focus lenses. Here are some pictures of the few interesting parts in the video. Let me know if you can spot anything else interesting!
