Get ready for another super expensive lens to come from Zeiss that you’ll want to drool over. With the company releasing their 55mm f1.4 Otus lens this year (and us getting some playtime already with it), they’re already in the process of creating more. The company announced on Facebook that they’d be creating an 85mm f1.4 Otus next in 2014. With all this in mind, we’re positive that the one after that will either be a 35mm f1.4 or a 24mm f1.4.
If the company is making an 85mm f1.4, then they’re obviously trying to outdo their 135mm f2, which we very much love. Despite the fact that the focal lengths are completely different, the 85mm is bound to be the single portrait lens that every high end portrait photographer may need considering all the research and development that went into the Otus 55mm lens. With all this said though, we can’t imagine photographers buying a whole set of these lenses due to cost. It just isn’t feasible for a studio. Instead, they may invest in just one. Keeping this in mind, we’re interested to see how the marketing is done for these lenses. They’re obviously the ones that everyone is going to be talking about–but no mere mortals will be able to afford.
Additionally, the only version of the lens currently available is just in Nikon mount with Canon’s coming early next year. Could this also mean that Canon may be coming out with a high megapixel body early next year?
This aside: our 55mm f1.4 Otus lens is on its way for review. And we’ve got big plans for our review.
