It will be available for Canon RF, Nikon Z and Sony E mounts. The 35mm F1.4 very closely resembles the existing 50mm F1.4 Otus ML, with the exception of having a petal-style hood befitting its wider angle of view. It shares the same metal construction and distance scale as the existing 50mm and 85mm lenses. The lens features 15 elements arranged in 11 groups in what the company describes as an aspherical Distagon lens. Zeiss suggests the lens is well suited to street, travel, or documentary work, with the option to de-click the aperture ring (using a small supplied tool) if you want to use the lens for video work. The new lens has a diameter of 77mm (3.0") and is 101mm (4.0") long in E-mount form. It weighs around 698g (24.6oz), depending on the mount. It can focus down as close as 0.3m (11.8"), gi
