Cutting it close. I have a trip from Raja Ampat to Ambon planned for March. The lens should be out by then. However, if it doesn't fit existing Naughty ports I may be screwed. If you get any definitive answers to compatability with existing ports, please share. I always seem to be chasing release dates.

This is a truly large lens when you consider that is a 50mm macro or 75mm eqv. Compared to say the Olympus 60mm macro or 120mm eqv. it is quite big. This is a result of the difference in chip size and of course the fact that it is a Zeiss F/2.8 lens. For those considering the A7/A7r "full frame" cameras the lens sizes are going to grow even larger and the port sizes will need to be bigger as well. I don't think the standard Nauticam Mirrorless or Mini port sizes will work well for this system at all.

I think you ment 8.6cm not mm for the 50 macro lens length, not being on the metric system I could be wrong. Looking at the photos of the Zeiss 50mm macro posted on the internet it appears to me that the lens is more like 110+mm looking quite large on the NEX cameras.
It is reported at 8.6cm yes no mm! 
That about 3.4 inches in your Olde English measurements...
You are on the metric system you talk 50mm macro lens Hopefully one day you will do what we did in 1973 and change to metric

Amen to that brother, we should be metric.
I have read the 8.6cm on SAR and reported as a statement from Zeiss. But looking at the photos of the lens next to and mounted on the NEX-5t/r an over 100mm x 70mm +camera it sure looks a bit longer to me.

Guys. Have a look at the photos I posted the other day. It's almost identical to the 16-70 size wise. Also I posted last night on dpreview under the nex forum a few photos taken with the macro lens. Granted its firmware is not final but it is very sharp!
