UK-based wedding photographer Lisa Beaney also got a chance to use the new lens for a series of portraits.

Meet Joe: Joe's watch tattoo has a very special meaning to him. The time (26 mins past 2) is actually his Dads birthday and the ink for this tattoo was mixed with some of his Dads ashes so he always has his Dad with him whatever else happens in life. . . . . This photo was taken with the new (yet to be released) Zeiss Batis lens and I can't get over how sharp it is. . . sharper than my 85mm Batis ! #takeover #takeovertuesday #instatakeover #instagramtakeover #zeissstories #ambassadorstakeover #zeisstakeover #zeisslive #instazeiss #zeissmoments #zeissambassador #zeisscameralenses #welovelenses #zeisstakeover #zeissfriend #adayinthelifeof #lisabeaney @lisabeaney #tattoo #tattoophotography #inked @shoelessjoe80

Internet speculation is pointing to a 135mm F2. 8. What do you think? Are you hoping for something faster than F2. 8? Let us know in the comments.
