it\'s very doubtful that zeiss will need to use a distagon design to get otus level performance from an 85/1.4, so I don\'t think the size difference will be near as big. I\'m guessing it\'ll be almost the same length as the 55mm otus.
I\'ll buy that. More speculation from moi...Zeiss Otus Apo Sonnar (or maybe Apo Makro Planar if macro) 85/1.4. 86mm+ front end. Simpler and cheaper design than a Distagon formula...comes with the medium format solution for female portrait softness, a matched Softar I-III set. $4000. Possibly many more will shell out $4k for an 85 than a 55. F/1.4 is fine as I can live without f/1.2. I\'m loving this thread!
