ZEISS is expanding its Otus ML lens family with the introduction of the new ZEISS Otus ML 1.4/35. This manual-focus lens is designed for photographers who live to tell visual stories with deliberate narratives – from street and travel to documentary work. Inspired by the legendary Otus lineage, the ML generation brings ZEISS’ renowned optical excellence and mechanical precision to the latest mirrorless systems, with mounts available for Sony E, Canon RF and Nikon Z.
The ZEISS Otus ML series continues to deliver natural color rendition, exceptional sharpness, and signatured micro contrast. A fast f/1.4 aperture provides accurate depth of field control, directing the viewer’s attention with clarity while producing a soft, elegant bokeh that separates subjects from the background. An advanced aspherical Distagon lens design minimizes distortion and chromatic aberrations, further enhancing image fidelity. Combined with the legendary ZEISS T* coating, reflections are reduced, flare is minimized, and both contrast and color accuracy are elevated.
ZEISS’ heritage in optical design, decades of pioneering research, innovation, and precision engineering, forms the foundation of the Otus ML line. The distinctive quality of the classic Otus family has been carried to Otus ML for the needs of the modern mirrorless era, combining tradition with cutting-edge performance.
