Matt Granger posts first full Zeiss Otus 85 video review and RAW samples.

Matt Granger posted that great Zeiss Otus 85mm video review you can watch on top. And plenty of image samples including RAW files can be downloaded on his page: http://ift.tt/WDz7nF.

And if you read my previous post about the high resolution cameras from Sony this may be one of the few lenses capable of resolving a 50MP resolution on a Full Frame E-mount camera. But well, it comes at a high cost

Preorders:

BHphoto with Nikon mount (Click here) or Canon mount (Click here) version.

Adorama with Nikon mount (Click here) or Canon mount (Click here) version.

First Otus lens tests: Diglloyd says “sets a new standard all its own”.

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.

Zeiss Otus 85mm preorders now up at BHphoto!

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?
