Thanks for announcing. Sure great, but sorry, no investment in exactly that boring wide-angle planned
35 or 24, neither fish nor owl. (I know, the saying goes neither fish nor fowl, but since Otus means owl, I couldn't resist ^_^ )
Any plans to investigate or test some of the Milvus' lenses?

Only one point four kilo? That is a relief. :ph34r:

A nice joke, JoJu.
The lens is... thankfully far outside even the reach of my G.A.S., for a huge amount of different reasons.

I think I will test the Loxias - well, at the least the 21mm.
The Mivuses are more something for Markus.

Zeiss' naming of the last lens series uses latin names for birds. Milvus = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milvus (in Wikipedia is already a reference to the lenses).
Interestingly not even Zeiss dared to go for a 25 or 24/1.4
yet.

21/1.4 Fullframe :blink: will bring it close to 10k$.
Hell, why not :ph34r:

Maybe the 28mm f1.4 already costs that 
Or maybe we can derive the cost from the weight?
55mm f1.4: 1030 grams (ZE versions)
85mm f1.4: 1200 grams
28mm f1.4: 1400 grams
55mm f1.4: €3600 (in my country)
85mm f1.4: €4070
28mm f1.4: 170 grams = €470. 200 grams = €553. That would make the 28mm f1.4 cost about €4623 (in my country) :lol:
