Zeiss launches the superb 55mm f/1.4 Otus Lens (it may comes for Sony A-mount too).
Zeiss just launched a new kind of lens series for High resolution Full Frame cameras. The “Otus” 55mm f/1.4 costs $3999 and is avaiable on BHphoto and Adorama. Sadly there is no A-mount version but this is just because there is no High resolution (30+MP) A-mount camera yet. A Sony 36MP camera could be announced in very early 2014 and therefore there is a big change to see Zeiss launching an A-mount version too. Image samples taken with the new lens can be seen on Flickr.
Note: The 55mm focal length is quite unusual. So it’s even more surprising that next week Zeiss will announce a FulL Frame 55mm f/1.8 FE (FF E-mount) lens along the A7 and A7r.
