range of Zeiss Otus lenses

All Zeiss Otus lenses

1. ZEISS Apo Distagon 1.4/28 T* (ZEISS OTUS 1.4/28, ZE-mount, ZF.2-mount, 2015)

4. ZEISS Apo Sonar 1.4/100 T* (ZEISS OTUS 1.4/100, ZE-mount, ZF.2-mount, 2019)

All in all, these are some of the best manual full-frame lenses for mount DSLRs. Nikon f и Canon EF.

Given that the design and production of lenses for SLR cameras has almost completely ceased (only Pentax occasionally tries to release something new), Zeiss Otus will remain “the best of the best”.

It is noteworthy that about fifty dollars 55/1.4 attributed to Distagons, not Planars (Distagons are almost always wide), it turned out to be such a wide-overgrowth.

All Zeiss Otus lenses have microprocessor contacts and automatic iris control (controlled through the camera).

Lenses were released one per year. BUT ZEISS OTUS 1.4/100 (Aka ZEISS Apo Sonnar 1.4/100 T*) is the latest announced lens from Zeiss. The company itself has not made any announcements of photographic lenses for almost 4 years and, most likely, has concentrated its activities on the production of cinema lenses.
