Some interesting things to note. They figured out that the macro and wide-angle in the photos are both f/2 lenses. They will be launching six lenses at Photokina so there are two not in the photograph. Zeiss hopes to introduce more lenses that will be more useful for digital users. Patent considerations kept them from introducing Canon EOS mount lenses, but it you can use these lenses by getting an F mount adapter for your Canon.

Thanks for clearing it up. Funny how they carefully positioned them so we almost couldn't tell what they are. A friend and I were trying to figure out what the other lenses were.

If you look at <a href="http://www.zeiss.de/c12567a8003b58b9/Contents-Frame/720d91333a3b82e1c12570f9003ee864" rel="nofollow">the other images on their website</a>, the left one is the 50mm f/1.4. The center one is a macro lens (Makro-Planar® T* 2.8/60?) and the left one is a wide-angle lens (I can read the "Distagon" label just barely).
