Zeiss posted a teaser of a new lens on their Facebook page. It’s a new “smooth” lens for mirrorless system cameras. UPDATE: Zeiss said they would launch a wide angle Loxia later this year. So I am not sure this is the wide angle lens he is holding. And I also don’t think it’s a Touit lens.
And the past weeks I already got a quite surprising rumor about a complete new line of lenses. Give me some time to check it out!

An 85mm 1.4 would be nice, Anything but another 35 or 50mm at this point would be a welcomed addition
I agree, a nice fast portrait length FE prime is the lens I’m waiting on.
a Mitakon 85/1.2 for example?
Main prob for me is buying on EBay and imported from China. It would be great to find it on EU shops
An autofocusing one ;). Hail the (mastur)batis.
I’d be happy with 1.8. Something like Nikon’s AF-S 85mm f/1.8G (excellent optics at a pretty reasonable price).
Its a video lens with smooth aperture control.
What makes you think it’s a standalone lens and not the RX1-X or whatever, which is mirrorless, potentially a “game changer” and presumably has a Zeiss lens?
touit zoom?
Not sure if its a lens trailer or beginning of a porn film 😐
Maybe it’s a new Full Frame lineup with Autofocus support?
I think the probability of mirrorless APS-C is low, since the Touit series had a couple of price drops which indicates they aren’t selling as well as the Loxia series. Which kind of makes sense, people who can only afford A5100/A6000 usually can’t afford a 1000 dollar lens.
Unless they bought a cheaper body because they want to spend a little more money on lenses. The cheaper bodies today are so good (in terms of IQ) that using one with high quality lenses is arguably a better option, than using an expensive camera with cheaper lenses. That is, if you can’t afford both an expensive camera and expensive lenses.
It s not about afford but I would not spend 1000$ for a Sony or Zeiss lens with f < 100 mm and aperture < f/2… It's scam.
100mm macro pleeeeease
Its a 8-5000 f.0,15 ff zoom
Who says this is about a lens? I am expecting an E-mount Zeiss digital Ikon camera at some point.
Where do I preorder…
A zoom?
Could it be the Otus!?
FE mount AF? FE manual but new designs not ZM variants so not Locia?
A new line of lenses? What could possibly follow after Touit, Otus and Loxia?
Phoenicopteros (flamingo)? Diomedea (albatross)? Corvus (crow/raven)? Apteryx (kiwi)? Grus (crane)?
FE 35-105 f4
FE 50-150 f4
Tired of f4… Better f/2.8
A new line of lenses by Zeiss from 900 to 1500 $ ? The surprise would be a 85mm at half price than FF 90mm version
1100 $ ?
