Similar to ZE lenses?

Looks like a complete replacement of their standard ZE/ZF line-up.
Edit:
Well not completely, there is no 28/2 and 35/1.4. The rest is there though and myself I am most curious about the new 21/2.8

And no 15 f:2.8 and 135 f:2.8. I am curious about the all-new 50 f:1.4, and 85 f:1.4

I think there isn't a 25 f/2 and is the 100 in the back row a Makro?

Also there is no 18 f/3.5.

Yeah, I just realized that the my view of the Zeiss line-up was kind of limited

p.1 #9Zeiss Milvus are out: new range of DSLR lenses!
Yes, the 100 reads 100M, as does the 50 f:2.0, (50M)

It'll be very interesting to see how these lenses differ from the ZE/ZF line.

It looks very much like a repackaged ZE/ZF line, except for the f:1.4 Planar twins, which explains how they can release 6 new lenses at the same time.

Many people neglected the Planar twins (not me, I still own them
), so I guess these new ones will have much better technical performance.

If they behave significantly better wide open at close distans they are very interesting. I wonder how much Zeiss will be competing with their own Otus line now?

Well, in Oberkochen, they are talking of "simplified Otus". We will have pics tonight, on the DearSusan site.

There is also a new Loxia and a new Otus.

I kind of like the new packaging. I was never a fan of the Cosina housing with the chromed filter ring. They look more matching with the dslr cams they are made for.

What mounts will be offered? They are certainly not small lenses.....

To me it looks like this: the 21/2.8, 35/2 as well as the two macro lenses 50/2 and 100/2 are optically the same as the ZF.2/ZE line. The 50/1.4 and the 85/1.4 are new designs. The 50/1.4 is now a Distagon type. I checked the specs of the new lenses on BHphoto. What the specs don't reveal is if the coatings have been improved, or small tweaks. I really think that the 100/2 macro could have done with an updated lens formula to counter OOF PF.
The new 50/1.4 and 85/1.4 are then "Otus light".

Maybe 8 years ago I would have been interested, but not now when I'm looking
for a SMALLER setup...
