ZEISS Otus ML 35mm f/1.4: B&H Photo / Amazon / Adorama
ZEISS Expands Otus ML Lineup with the New 1.4/35
A new storytelling lens for mirrorless cameras, bringing the distinctive ZEISS look to Sony1 E, Canon2 RF and Nikon3 Z Mount.
Oberkochen, Germany | 24 February 2026 | ZEISS Photonics & Optics
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 photographers who live to tell visual stories with deliberate narratives, from street and travel to documentary work. Inspired by the legendary Otus lineage, the ML generation brings ZEISS’ renowned optical excellence and mechanical precision to the latest mirrorless systems, with mounts available for Sony1 E, Canon2 RF and Nikon3 Z.
The ZEISS Otus ML series continues to deliver natural color rendition, exceptional sharpness, and signatured micro contrast. A fast f/1.4 aperture provides accurate depth of field control, directing the viewer’s attention with clarity while producing a soft, elegant bokeh that separates subjects from the background. An advanced aspherical Distagon lens design minimizes distortion and chromatic aberrations, further enhancing image fidelity. Combined with the legendary ZEISS T* coating, reflections are reduced, flare is minimised, and both contrast and color accuracy are elevated.
Manual focus as a creative tool
Manual focusing with the ZEISS Otus ML series is not just a technique, it is an artistic process. Photographers can make precise adjustments that ensure each shot is captured with intention. True to the ZEISS legacy of precision optics, the Otus ML 1.4/35 features millimetre-accurate control. The tech becomes invisible, giving you more creativity to tell the stories that matter.
Building on the 1.4/50 and 1.4/85, the new ZEISS Otus ML 1.4/35 expands a compelling range of storytelling tools for photographers who create across different genres. From vibrant street scenes to immersive documentary environments, this focal length offers the perfect balance: wide enough to set the scene, yet tight enough to isolate key subjects.
Optical excellence for the finest details
Engineered for exceptional performance even at f/1.4, the ZEISS Otus ML lenses reveal remarkable detail and texture, especially in low-light environments where the human eye begins to struggle. Distortion and chromatic aberrations are effectively reduced, resulting in sharper images and cleaner color transitions.
The ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating further ensures clarity by reducing stray light and ghosting, enabling photographers to maintain full control across challenging lighting conditions.
The distinctive ZEISS Look: Vivid. Sharp. Nearly three-dimensional
Otus ML lenses deliver the unmistakable ZEISS visual language. Their combination of true color reproduction, outstanding sharpness, and unparalleled micro-contrast creates images with an almost three-dimensional character. Subjects stand out with powerful presence, separated smoothly from the background by a beautifully rendered bokeh shaped through a 10-blade aperture.
This shallow depth of field when shot on fast aperture not only enhances storytelling but guides the viewer’s eye to what truly matters.
Precision engineering, purpose-built for mirrorless systems
The ZEISS Otus ML series carries forward the craftsmanship of the legendary Otus family, known worldwide as best-in-class manual prime lenses. The new ML design features a smooth metal focus ring with 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.
Built with a full-metal construction, the lenses deliver exceptional durability and a premium tactile feel. Optimized for modern mirrorless cameras, they offer a uniquely connected shooting experience. Clearly marked yellow scales ensure quick, accurate adjustments in any environment.
A legacy reimagined
ZEISS’ heritage in optical design, decades of pioneering research, innovation, and precision engineering, forms the foundation of the Otus ML line. The distinctive quality of the classic Otus family has been carried to Otus ML for the needs of the modern mirrorless era, combining tradition with cutting-edge performance.

Voigtlander SEPTON 40mm f/2 Aspherical:
B&H Photo / Amazon
Cosina announced the new Voigtlander SEPTON 40mm f/2 Aspherical lens for Nikon Z and Sony E mount. The E-mount version will be released in March 2026.
Compact design with a total length of 32mm
The overall length from the mount surface is a compact 32mm, making it easy to carry around and take in and out of a bag, and the 40mm angle of view, which can also be used as a semi-wide-angle lens, makes it suitable for everyday use.
Electronic contacts for communication with the body
The lens mount is equipped with electronic contacts, enabling electrical communication between the lens and body. The combination of an electrical communication-compatible body and the latest firmware*1 enables support for Exif information, in-body image stabilization (3-axis), and three types of focusing support functions (focusing by changing the focus point frame color, focusing by peaking, and focusing using the magnification button).
Manual focus for precise focusing
The all-metal helicoid unit is machined and adjusted with high precision, and the use of high-quality grease that generates just the right amount of torque ensures smooth focusing, allowing for subtle focus adjustments.
Dome-shaped metal hood included
The included dome-shaped metal screw-on hood maintains the lens’s compact size. The hood has a φ52mm thread on its outer periphery, so the same front cap can be used with or without the hood.
