Zeiss Manual Focus Lenses

Carl Zeiss AG is a German company that has been making high precision optics for more than 160 years. Many of the manual focus lenses they make for the Nikon mount have their origins as lenses originally designed for the motion picture industry.

Starting in 2014 Zeiss began a rework of their entire lens lineup for DSLRs. With their entry into mirrorless, we now have Otus lenses in the Z-mount (as well as Canon RF and Sony FE), which have been again reworked.
