Dealers say Zeiss will no longer launch civilian camera lenses, but officials have not yet responded.

Thanks to CTOnews.com net friend independent photographer, rain and snow ride, suitcase, Leibi, I am a good clue delivery! CTOnews.com June 7 news, according to foreign media ThePhoblographer reported on June 5, Zeiss will no longer launch new camera lenses and filters, such as Batis, Loxia and other non-reflective lenses will no longer be updated. Coupled with the previously discontinued Milvus, Otus SLR camera lenses, it means that Zeiss may withdraw from the camera lens market, but does not include professional-grade movie lenses.

However, it is impossible to draw a simple conclusion for the time being. CTOnews.com noted that foreign media ThePhoblographer quoted a post from the Fred Miranda Forum, which claimed that Australian dealers had "confirmed" the news that Zeiss lenses had stopped production. ThePhoblographer also received a reply from Zeiss saying that it would update the article.

Weibo blogger @ camera Note et also asked Zeiss's contact person in China about the matter and replied, "I'm still in Zeiss, which means photo is still there." Another Weibo blogger @ Anthony AnthonyWong inquired about Zeiss's website and said that the latest press release was about cooperation with Apple Vision Pro and did not respond positively to the rumors of "quitting the photography industry."

The last time Zeiss released a photographic lens was in April 2019, when the lens was released as OTUS 100Universe 1.4. In October 2020, Zeiss released the ZX1, a full-frame camera with integrated lenses, but it didn't make a stir in the market.
