ZEISS Is Coming Back to Photography? Zeiss might finally be making a comeback in the camera lens world after years of silence. Their official photography Instagram just dropped a teaser featuring an owl photo, a cheeky “owlsome news” caption, and a shot taken with their classic Otus 85mm f/1.4 lens. If that’s not a hint at a new Otus lens, what is?

The last Otus lens came out in 2019, and since then, Zeiss has been pretty quiet on the photography front, focusing more on smartphone lenses. But this teaser suggests they’re about to announce something big—maybe even at CP+ in Japan in a couple of weeks. The big question now: will it be for mirrorless cameras? Either way, it’s about time Zeiss got back in the game.
