Zeiss Loxia 21mm f/2.8 and Batis 85mm f/1.8: a Conversation with Michael Schielhlen, Senior Director

We checked in with Michael at PhotoPlus Expo 2015 to get a feel not only for two of the most interesting lenses in Zeiss' rapidly expanding lineup, but to talk about what's next. Maybe a superwide? I can see that: Voigtländer is coming out with e-Mount versions of their manual focus wide Heliars, all the way down to 10mm. And maybe a Loxia 85? Whatever it is, Zeiss is clearly riding a heckuva wave, with Batis lenses in particular on back order. I even found - to my surprise - that I like the OLED depth of field scale on the Batis!
