Zeiss posted another teaser on social media for their upcoming Otus ML mirrorless lenses (B&H Photo listing):

"The rumors? They might be true...."

"The big reveal is almost here! We’ve seen the anticipation, the theories, and the excitement—and we can hardly wait ourselves. Just a little longer now… even if some of you might already have a hunch."

Zeiss OTUS ML 50mm F1.4 and ZEISS OTUS ML 85mm F1.4 Coming February 25th

The post Another leaked picture of the Zeiss Otus ML 50mm f/1.4 lens for Z/E/RF mount *UPDATED* appeared first on Photo Rumors.

The rumors were true - Zeiss will announce mirrorless versions of their Otus lenses for Nikon Z, Sony E, and Canon RF mount. The first two lenses have already leaked online:

• Zeiss Otus ML 50mm f/1.4 for Z/E/RF mount (£2,100)
• Zeiss Otus ML 85mm f/1.4 for Z/E/RF mount (£2,350)

Zeiss originally had four Otus lenses:

• Otus 28mm f/1.4 ZF.2
• Otus 55mm f/1.4 ZF.2
• Otus 85mm f/1.4 ZF.2
• Otus 100mm f/1.4 ZF.2

I seriously doubt Zeiss will introduce any new version besides the four listed above. As I already wrote in my previous blog post, Zeiss is looking for a quick and easy revenue stream without spending money on research and development - just like OM System: re-house, promote with influencers, and sell at ridiculous prices.

Based on the previous teasers, the new lens is probably a tele lens:

Zeiss published a second teaser indicating that their new lens (or something else?) will be announced on February 25th - right before the start of the 2025 CP+ show in Japan:

There were already rumors of Zeiss exiting the photography business after the company did not announce any photography lenses in 6 years. As I already noted, my uneducated guess is that we will see new mirrorless versions of the existing Otus line. I do not think Zeiss will introduce anything completely new, but I could be wrong. They are looking for an easy revenue stream without spending money on research and development - just like OM System: re-house, promote with influencers, and sell at ridiculous prices.

What to expect at the 2025 CP+ show? (an updated list of upcoming/rumored cameras and lenses)

After the rumors of Zeiss exiting the photography business and the fact that the company has not announced any photography lenses in 6 years, we finally have a new teaser that promises something new is coming:

The only clue here is that the teaser was posted on the "Zeiss Camera Lenses" Instagram, which could indicate a new photography lens. Expect to see the new product at the  2025 CP+ show in Japan. One thing I am 100% sure about - the new Zeiss lens will not be for Micro Fourth Thirds mount
