Luke from Zeiss stopped by for this quick overview of the Zeiss range of lenses for video and stills including the new Zeiss LWZ.3 21-100mm, Batis, & Otus.
This year, IBC 2016 was not short on new lens announcements, that's for sure. However, one of the most anticipated and hottest announcements from the show came from Japanese lens maker SIGMA, who up until now have been manufacturing primarily photographic lenses. At IBC 2016 in Amsterdam, Sigma announced they will release a new lineup of cine lenses including primes and zoom lenses in early 2017.
Zeiss just added a fourth lens to their esteemed LOXIA family of lenses - the new 85mm f2.4 Loxia. The newest telephoto addition gives photographers and video enthusiasts and professionals yet another amazing tool with which to capture stunning images. The Loxia 85mm f2.4 features a similar lightweight and compact design to the rest of the LOXIA line-up.
Zeiss expands their award-winning Milvus family of prime lenses with three new focal lengths - two ultra-wide 15mm f2.8; a 18mm f2.8, which will surely make lots of landscape and architecture photographers happy and a telephoto 135mm f2.0 for portrait photographers.
Zeiss have announced a brad new Lightweight Zoom - LWZ.3 with a very decent range - 21-100mm T2.9-3.9 with Super 35 sensor coverage and Interchangeable lens mount system for maximum flexibility. Documentary and wildlife shooters in particular should take a look at this lens as the lens not only features a good range of focal lengths, but is also quite affordable - at just over £7000 + VAT.
