The previously reported rumors were true – Zeiss will announce mirrorless versions of their high-end Otus lens line. Zeiss had four Otus models for F-mount:
For the 2025 CP+ show in Japan, Zeiss will introduce at least two new Zeiss Otus ML mirrorless lenses for Nikon Z-mount (see first sample photos):
- Zeiss Otus ML 50mm f/1.4 for Z mount (£2,100)
- Zeiss Otus ML 85mm f/1.4 for Z mount (£2,350)

The official announcement will be on February 25th at 8:00 am ET:
