I am being offered new with 12 month warranty Zeiss 'Classic' EF lenses for a discounted price varying between 11-34% discount (post-tax price) vs US SRP (pre-tax price).

Are they worth getting in light of the Zeiss Milvus lenses being announced 6 months ago?

For the Otus lenses, I only get 3-12% discount (post-tax price).

The Zeiss lenses I am being offered converted to USD with tax.

Zeiss Classic

$2,174 - 15mm f/2.8
$1,062 - 18mm f/3.5
$1,451 - 21mm f/2.8
$1,115 - 25mm f/2.0
$0,954 - 28mm f/2.0
$1,451 - 35mm f/1.4
$0,828 - 35mm f/2.0
$0,582 - 50mm f/1.4
$0,972 - 85mm f/1.4
$1,518 - 135mm f/2.0
$0,954 - 50mm Makro
$1,455 - 100mm Makro

Zeiss Otus

$3,512 - 55mm f/1.4
$4,369 - 85mm f/1.4
 
I've got all 12 of the classic lenses and, with the exception of the 50/1.4, they're excellent. The only lenses in the Milvus range that have a new optical formula (so far) are the 50/1.4 and 85/14 so it really comes down to whether you want the new look barrels. I'd go for the savings myself.

Thanks Bob, you saved me a lot of research. The lens that I'd probably be interested in would be the 135mm. I do not have that lens of any brand.

If I can sell my 50/1.4 ZE I'd sell that for a Milvus. Offer price comes out as $1,083 vs the US $1,199.
