ZEISS is expanding its Otus ML lens family with the introduction of the new ZEISS Otus ML 1.4/35. This manual-focus lens is designed for a wide variety of image making scenarios, from street and travel photography to documentary work. Inspired by the legendary Otus lineage, the ML generation brings optical excellence and mechanical precision to the latest mirrorless systems with mounts available for Sony E, Canon RF and Nikon Z. The ZEISS Otus ML series continues to deliver natural color rendition, exceptional sharpness, and signature micro contrast. A fast f/1.4 aperture provides depth of field control while a 10-blade aperture helps create elegant bokeh that separates subjects from the background.

Engineered for exceptional performance even at f/1.4, the ZEISS Otus ML lenses reveal impressive detail and texture, especially in low-light environments where the human eye begins to struggle. An advanced aspherical Distagon lens design minimizes distortion and chromatic aberrations, further enhancing image fidelity. Combined with the ZEISS T* coating, reflections are reduced, flare is minimized, and both contrast and color accuracy are elevated. With use of manual focusing, photographers can make precise adjustments that ensure each shot is captured with intention. The Otus ML 1.4/35 features millimeter-accurate focus control with a smooth metal focus ring and a helicoid mechanism providing a precise rotation range that enhances focusing accuracy. An aperture de-click option allows seamless and quiet transitions, ideal for both photography and videography.

The new ZEISS Otus ML 1.4/35 will be available from specialty retailers in Spring 2026 at US$2,299.00. For more information about the ZEISS Otus ML and its specifications, please visit www.zeiss.com/otus-ml.
