It kicked off its new mirrorless-focused Otus ML line with two manual focus F1. 4 models: a 50mm and an 85mm.
We were able to spend some time with the 50mm F1. 4 and take a collection of sample images with it, which you can see below. After you've taken a look, be sure to check out our interview with the Senior Manager of Creative Arts at Zeiss Cinema and Photography, where we discuss the new lenses and the company's plans for the future.
