Well, if our sources is correct than the new Zeiss Otus 85mm f/1.4 lens is going to be the best lens of the world beating the current leader, the Zeiss Otus 55mm lens. And here you can see one more picture of the lens and the optical design of it.
The lens is not going to be available for A-mount but all A7 E-mount camera owners can use it on their camera via adapter!

The Zeiss 55mm f/1.4 Otus is said to be the best Full Frame lens on market. And here is the first image of the next Otus lens…the Zeiss 85mm f/1.4! This lens will be available for Canon/Nikon but you can obviously use it with adapter on your A7 camera too.
UDPATE: A source just told us the image quality of the new 85mm lens surpasses even the 55mm Otus. The size and build are nearly identical to the 55.
