(SR5) Zeiss next Batis lens will be a 40mm f/2.0 CF FE!

Rumors keep getting in in thes last days! Nokishita reports that Zeiss is testing a new Batis 40mm f/2.0 CF FE lens. These are the lens specs:

Distagon optical design
The shortest shooting distance is 0.24 m
With focus limiter (Full / ∞ ~ 0.4 m / 0.5 m to 0.24 m)
Filter diameter is 67 mm
Batis Size close to 85mm (40mm is slightly smaller)

I am not sure what “CF” stands for. But Zeiss made [shoplink 71260 ebay]CF lenses for Hasselblad (here on eBay)[/shoplink] and they had in lens shutter mechanism. But the best guess is that CF stands for “Close Focus”.

It is also unclear yet when this lens will be announced.
