Here is more good news from Photokina 2012. Zeiss will expand their line of E-mount autofocus lenses from 1 to 4 by summer of 2013. Here is what we know so far about the new Zeiss lenses:
  • Optimized for APS-C sensors and made in E-mount.
  • Focal lenghts to be offered:
    • 12mm f/2.8 Distagon (18mm efov) ø67mm filter
    • 32mm f/1.8 Planar (48mm efov) ø52mm filter
    • 50mm f/2.8 macro (75mm efov)
  • Zoom lenses are being considered.
  • Autofocus with manual override.
  • High quality and lightness are driving factors.
  • Each lens will be comparable in price to the Zeiss 24mm f/1.8 ZA E lens, around £1000.
  • Made in Japan.

We were off by a few mms on the focal lengths when we posted about this a ten days ago. The prototype lenses will be on display at the Zeiss booth at Photokina.

Here is the interview with Carl Zeiss' Dr. Pollman with respect to the new Zeiss lenses for Sony NEX cameras.
