There aren’t many photographic companies with a longer or more illustrious heritage than Zeiss, originally founded in Germany all the way back in 1846. With bicentennial experience in the driving seat, the company knows a thing or two about lenses and is renowned for making some of the world’s finest optics.
If proof were needed, look no further than the Otus range of f/1.4 28mm, 55mm, 85mm and 100mm prime lenses, designed for Canon and Nikon DSLRs. They’ve achieved near-legendary status and picked up a string of awards along the way, but there’s been nothing new this decade. But fter six years on pause, Otus is now back in ‘ML’ mirrorless guise, kicking off with f/1.4 50mm and 85mm lenses.
