Carl Zeiss Otus 85 mm f/1.4
1. Introduction
The first unofficial announcement of a new 1.4/85 model appeared already in December 2013. The official launch, though, took place only in September 2014 during the Photokina fair when the final specimens of the new lens were presented to the testers and users alike.
Photokina, and a lot of work it involved, is already behind us so we can test the new launches with some peace and quiet. The Zeiss Otus 1.4/85 was on the very top of our wish list and it was sent to us courtesy of the Polish Zeiss distributor, the Fototechnika company – thank you very much!
