I really like both but I think I will get the 85 first. For wide angle lens, I'm debating between Sony/Zeiss 16-35 and Batis 25.
I would like to see a comparison at 25 mm.

I ordered the 85mm Batis as soon as it was announced, any updates on when they are expected to ship?

I'll be standing at the door when it opens. I drove 2450 miles in a truck to do it too. Well I had to anyway. Long story

Now July 23rd.. :\ I'm starting to worry I may have made a mistake pre-ordering the a7r II at B&H. Hopefully this is just a Zeiss issue, and not a B&H issue..

They still show the 17th for the 25mm; just the 85mm shows the 23rd.

Have the 85mm coming in the morning
Yahoo I beat all the pre-orders
Why I don't pre- order often. I seem to get lucky with smaller vendors sometime

Nice to hear that they are out 'in the wild' now.

They are both out in the wild. Not sure why B&H has the delay on the 85mm. I could have grabbed them both but not enough flow going this week, maybe next week I ll grab the 25mm

They both say mid-August now.. :\ I sincerely hope this is for people looking to place an order currently, and not the expected availability of the stock that was supposed to ship on the 17th.

I just got an email from B&H saying that the 25mm lens I ordered is still on backorder. I placed my order with the A7rII so I may have missed the 1st batch. Looks like it may come after the camera now if that really ships on Aug 5th.

Damn - mid August now. Was really hoping mine would ship before the A7rII.

Wish I bought both yesterday when I had the chance. I grabbed the 85mm since that is my most needed. Just waiting for UPS to show up today. Im in NY so hopefully I can find some time to go shoot some tests with it. Im feeling pretty lucky now after seeing these release dates move to mid-August.

So, your order for the 85 is on it's way while everyone else waits for mid-August? How did that happen?

Lens is in hand. Weird thing when I mount it the Zeiss lights up but won't stay on. Cant seem to get to the settings on lens to make it always stay on or change settings. BTW The hood is stupid big. I mounted a screw in metal 67mm instead put both lens caps and hood back in box. I always save that stuff as new.
