Quite cheap and ready to buy...no 10 months waiting time for delivery. I wonder how they compare to Angies.

To me the range of the Angies is more useable than 28-200. At least on Super35. These will be killer on full frame cameras.

There is already the Zeiss LWZ.2 15.5-45mm for the wide angle.

There will be a companion vista vision wide... They are a little chunky compared to the optimos but they should come in to their own when we see a FF (vista size) Epic.

Also the 70-200 is interesting due to a shortage of light weight zooms in that range.

you could easily pair the 28-70 and the 70-200 with a ruby 14-24 and have an great zoom range

 

[George A.]

Are these based on the Nikon zooms?

Do you mean the loose lens design? Or are you asking if they are PL versions of Nikkor lenses?

either way... no (acording to Zeiss...)

[Evin Grant]

If anything they are based on Minolta designs that we're bought by Sony who shares the Alpha lens system with Zeiss.

 

[Jiri Vrozina]

Minolta never made 28-80mm f2.8

 

[Uli Plank]

True, that one was a two-touch 28-80, but in 3.5 to 4.5 from 1983 and pretty rare. A few of the designs for Sony Alpha may still be based on the Minolta calculations, but not this zoom.

That sounds incestual.

 

[Mitch Gross]

These are Zeiss original designs. The 70-200 is just starting to ship and the 28-80 will ship in the second quarter of the year. They are both compact, lightweight, inexpensive, feature interchangeable mounts and cover full frame 35mm. Go to our blog to learn more about them.

...inexpensive...

Love that part... I wonder how much is "inexpensive" for you Mitch?!

They also have 18 blades. Any talk of Full Frame CZ 15-40mm Mitch? ;-)

I went on Focus Optics site and he does not list price for Ruby 14-24. Any idea what they cost?

The ruby is about $10k.

 

[Will Keir]

wow 18 blades!

Does the Bokay get better with more blades? From what I've seen, K35s for example (14 blade iris), the answer is 'yes."
