Zeiss answered today, through their blog, some questions about the new Batis lenses!
The most important things mentioned are:
- ZEISS Batis lenses are designed exclusively with E-mount for use on mirrorless system cameras with Sony E-mount.
- Additional focal lengths will follow
- The lens shade of the ZEISS Batis lenses consists of high-quality plastic.
- For the manufacture of ZEISS lenses, they use a global production network of trusted partners in the optical industry that has been built up over many years. ZEISS Batis lenses are made in Japan.
- The ZEISS Batis lenses are protected against dust and splashes (not waterproof) and are therefore suitable for use in everyday weather conditions. They are designed for use at temperatures ranging from -10 °C to +55°C.
