Zeiss has clarified its position in the photography market and soundly denied allegations that it is leaving the photography industry. That said, don't expect a follow-up to its Android-powered ZX1 camera.
According to a new report, Zeiss appears poised to fully exit the photography industry this year and will cease production of cameras and lenses.
In the past decade, Zeiss has launched a number of new lens lines for DSLR and mirrorless cameras with unusual-sounding names such as Batis, Otus, and Milvus. Perhaps you own one of these lenses, but did you know that each of those lens lines is named after a bird?
One of the unavoidable truths about being an artistic creator is that you’ll undoubtedly and inevitably hit a rut. As is the case with landscape photography, that wall hit me after I realized that all of my photos started to look the same, even when the locations varied.
The most recent "APS-C vs Full-Frame" comparison comes from our friends at Sonder Creative, and it's a portrait photography lens shootout between the ZEISS Batis 85mm f/1.8 and the Fujifilm 56mm f/1.2.
Zeiss has announced the new Batis 40mm f/2 CF (Close Focus) lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras, a product the company calls "the most versatile lens in the Zeiss Batis family."
The newest Zeiss Batis lens has officially arrived. It's a 'compact, lightweight, top-quality' 135mm f/2.8, but what it's lost in weight it seems to have gained back in dollar signs.

"Zooms? We don't need no stinkin' zooms!" said a gaggle of ZEISS shooters. At least that's what we imagine ZEISS-lovers saying as they look at the comparison shot above by photographer and ZEISS lens ambassador Christian Dandyk.
It's a great day for lens lovers. First, Meyer-Optik resurrects the Trioplan f2.9/50, and now Zeiss is joining the fray by debuting the widest full-frame fixed focal length E-mount lens with autofocus: the Batis 18mm f/2.8.
Back in April, Zeiss announced its new Batis series of lenses -- a lineup that featured the world's first-ever OLED distance display rather than a physical distance indicator window. The new OLED screens can be easily read by photographers even in low (or no) light situations.
If you're wondering what the screens look like at night, check out the short clip above showing a screen glowing during a shoot in the dark.
Now this is different: Zeiss has just announced a new line of lenses called Batis. The two new lenses -- a 25mm f/2 and an 85mm f/1.8 -- are the world's first full-frame autofocus lenses that feature an OLED display on the lenses for focus distance and depth of field.
