I trialed the Otus ML 50 and 85 on Oct.-12-2025 in Nürnberg, and it created a definitely lasting impression with me. Yes, they are MF and the 85 is probably the first one I sooner or later will own .
When the Batis 135 mm became available, back then I made the same "mistake". Back then I had the Sony A7 II, and I was "blown away" what difference the lens makes.
Meanwhile my "Batis family" has grown ... :-) And yes, I do also have some Sony GMs in my lens bag, plus two Sony-Zeiss branded lenses.
=> I am wondering whether this site is only about Otus or about any "Consumer Zeiss lens for photographic" purposes.
