New Carl Zeiss 25mm f2 Distagon lens for Canon and Nikon SLRs

Zeiss has just announced a brand new lens for SLRs, the 25mm f2 Distagon manual focus lens, that will be available in ZE (Canon mount) and ZF.2 (Nikon mount with CPU). The lens will come out in December for around 1220 euro (excluding VAT).

Press release parade at Photoscala (computer-translated), ephotozine, Zeiss (english), Focus Numerique, Photography Blog, dpreview, et al. Tiny samples from the lens can be found at the Zeiss blog. Diglloyd will be receiving the Canon version of this lens this week and will be posting his impressions at the $ubscription $ection of his Zeiss Guide website. A subscription is only a tiny fraction of the price of a Zeiss lens after all :)
