A certain kind of photographer will immediately understand what ZEISS is doing here, and it has nothing to do with chasing specs for the sake of charts. With the introduction of the ZEISS Otus ML 1.4/35, the Otus line continues its quiet but confident migration into the mirrorless era, this time landing on a focal length that lives right in the heart of visual storytelling. Thirty-five millimetres has always been about context and intention, about deciding how much of the world stays in the frame and how much gets pushed aside, and this lens leans fully into that philosophy.
