Loxia 85mm?

[Portrait Painter X]

Any Loxia lovers in here? Do you think a release of a 85mm is likely this fall? Also, is it likely to be more expensive than the 50mm Loxia? (The 35mm is more expensive than the 50mm because, from what I gather, 35mm is more difficult to manufacture. Is 85mm more difficult or easier to produce?) I really need a 85mm FE lens with great manual focus ability (ie not focus-by-wire), so I would KILL for a short tele Loxia.

I guess most Loxia fans are looking out for something around 90 and around 21, perhaps 28. It could be that Zeiss will follow the most common cinema focal lengths (not sure what those are) with this range.

 

In any case, you can use existing M-mount lenses, at 85-90-135mm focal length they all work well.

I've though about using adapters, but the Loxia is so awesome that I think it's worth waiting for. The direct communication with the camera, auto focus magnification, the fantastic colors and bokeh etc...

 

A 90mm would be an absolute dream!
