I didn’t think the Zeiss Otus lenses would see a discount, but such is the onslaught of Sony mirrorless that times change: interest and demand for DSLRs is greatly reduced.
$4032 Zeiss Otus 85mm f/1.4 APO-Planar ZF.2 Lens for Nikon has $458 instant savings
$3754 Zeiss Otus 55mm f/1.4 APO-Distagon ZE Lens for Canon has $236 instant savings
The Zeiss 135mm f/2 APO-Sonnar just about qualifies for Otus status too, and the Zeiss 135mm f/2 APO-Sonnar is $300 off for Canon and Nikon, plus 4% rewards.
A new camera+lens gestalt potentiality has emerged that calls for ultra high performance and relatively slow lenses: see The Irrational Aim of f/1.4 Lenses. This won’t happen any time soon. In the meantime a Nikon D810 or Canon 5DS R remains unbeatable with Otus, so long as it suits your application.
