ZEISS has just announced the latest addition to their highly regarded Otus lineup, the Otus ML series, specifically designed for mirrorless camera systems. The first lenses in this new family, the Otus ML 50mm f/1.4 and Otus ML 85mm f/1.4 bring ZEISS’s legendary optical quality to modern mirrorless mounts for Sony E, Canon RF, and Nikon Z. With this release, ZEISS finally gives photographers and filmmakers a native Otus experience for mirrorless cameras. The Otus ML lenses follow the same principles as their DSLR predecessors. ZEISS claims they offer exceptional optical performance, premium build quality, and precise manual focus. These lenses are not for everyone. The manual focus design and high-end pricing put them squarely in the hands of professionals who demand the best optics available. A brief history of ZEISS Otus When ZEISS introduced the first Otus lens in 2013, it set a new benchmark for image quality. CineD covered the debut of the Otus 55mm f/1.4 in this article. The original Otus lenses became known for their unmatched sharpness, near-zero distortion, and beautiful color reproduction. ZEISS Otus 55mm f/1.4 lens in Nikon Mount – 2013.

ZEISS’s long silence in the stills lens market led to speculation about whether it would continue developing high-end photography lenses. This new release puts those doubts to rest.
