Diglloyd posted his first impressions about the new Zeiss Otus 85mm lens:
The Otus 85/1.4 APO-Planar delivers the most transparently beautiful imagery I have ever seen on a DSLR…Including medium format Leica S, and the best Pentax medium format lens, the 90/2.8 macro. The Otus 85mm /1.4 APO-Planar sets a new standard all its own.
The Swedish site Fotosidan (google translation here) posted a short comparison with the Nikon 85mm lens:
Some bright lenses are deliberately drawing a soft at maximum aperture to get nice and soft background blur (bokeh). Zeiss has managed to combine high clarity with nice bokeh, see example image.
The lens can be preorderd at BHphoto with Nikon mount (Click here) or Canon mount (Click here) version.
I just got notifed from eBay that for a short time you can get the brand enw Sony A6000 with kit lens with a $100(!) discount at BigValue eBay (Click here). That’s a damn good deal!

Still running is also that great $349 deal on the Sony RX100 (Click here).

P.S.: Zeiss Otus 85mm 1.4 can be preorderd now at BHphoto with Nikon mount (Click here) or Canon mount (Click here).
An anonymous source told me Sony will announce a 90mm macro FE lens at Photokina. Asking now my sources if they can confirm this or not. Thanks!
P.S.: According to Sony’s roadmap that kind of lens is really coming. Hope the fast (85mm 1.4?) prime is going to be announced too!

The world’s best Full Frame lens, the new Zeiss Otus 85mm 1.4 can be preorderd now at BHphoto with Nikon mount (Click here) or Canon mount (Click here). But the best use is on the Sony A7 Full Frame E-mount cameras. The Otus 85mm is a manual focusing lens and unlike Canon and Nikon cameras the Sony A7r have electronic viewfinder, focus peaking and a lot of other tools that will help Otus owners. So actually..Zeiss…why not simply launch an E-mount version too so that we don’t have to bother buying an adapter?
