The Zeiss 15mm T/2.9 and 135mm T/2.1 Compact Primes
Quick News – As previously reported and right on queue, Carl Zeiss has announced two new additions to the CP.2 line of Compact Prime cine-lenses, with the 15mm T/2.9 and 135mm T/2.1 shown above, set to be properly unveiled and showcased at NAB 2012.
Back in February, when Photo Rumors first broke the story of an expected Sony lens price increase due to take effect this past April 1st for the U.S. market, many were holding their breath for the slim chance that the report was nothing more than an April fool day gag. But, surely enough, April 1st has come and gone, and as expected, has left behind a new set of prices for a total of 30 A and E-mount Sony lenses, with increases ranging from $30-$700.
Quick News - Sigma US and UK has announced both the suggested retail price and available time frame of the upcoming 50-150mm f/2.8 EX DC APO OS HSM, the successor to the current 50-150mm F2.8 APO EX DC II, featuring Sigma’s patented OS (Optical Stabilization) technology, Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM), Super Multi-Layer Coating, and six SLD glass elements.
Along with the rumblings of both a 28mm f/1.8G FX and a 16-85mm DX lens announcement from Nikon due before the end of 2012, there has also been talk of an upcoming Nikkor 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR, also set to make an appearance some time in the foreseeable future. Well, thanks to some trigger happy folks over at Nikon Europe, the latter has officially been leaked, bringing with it our first full glance at not only the lens itself, but also the specifications and feature set listed below.
In a patent application filed back in September of 2010, but released publicly last week, Olympus calls for a rather intriguing addition to their current lens line-up, hoping to bring a much needed fast tele macro to the market in the form of a 150mm f/2.8.

In a story that initially broke from an “exclusive source” close to Photo Gizmo comes word that Zeiss is set to unveil their first tele-zoom for Nikon and Canon mounts at NAB 2012, debuting a 70-200 f/2.?, the question mark referring to a possibility that the conventional f-stop of 2.8, generally found in lenses of this focal length, might not be set in stone.
After numerous mini-leaks intentionally released by Zeiss themselves in an effort to generate buzz for their new super wide angle offering, the Distagon T* 15mm F/2.8 has officially been unveiled, and as expected, the gorgeous-looking mesh of glass and metal is coming exclusively to Nikon and Canon mounts.
Quick News – Continuing on with their week of teases, Zeiss has posted two more small snapshots of the soon to be announced Distagon T* 15mm F/2.8 ZE, which is set to be unveiled this Friday, March 16th.
Last week we touched upon the latest Zeiss rumor regarding a new super wide angle prime expected to be announced this coming Friday, March 16th in the Distagon T* 15mm F/2.8 ZE. Adding a dose of absolute validity to those early claims comes confirmation from Zeiss themselves, taking to Facebook and revealing the first small teaser images of the lens shown above and below.
