Recently, Zeiss started teasing a 'new Batis portrait telelens' on its Instagram account. A couple of Zeiss Ambassadors have posted photos from the yet-to-be-named lens as part of a weekly account takeover.
The photo below was taken by music photographer Greg Watermann. Zeiss mentions that the E-mount lens will be available this spring.
Next week on our #TakeoverTuesday ZEISS Ambassador Greg Watermann (@gregwatermann) will show you #adayinthelifeof #gregwatermann. Stay tuned for exciting behind the scenes. By the way, he has something new in his camera bag. Our new Batis portrait telelens. Stay tuned for more info.
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.
