I was not sure where to post this as its lens related not camera brand so much
I emailed Zeiss to ask --
"Will Zeiss be making the Zeiss Loxia line in other new mirrorless mounts such as the Panasonic L-Mount, the Nikon Z-Mount or the Canon R-Mount ?"
Here is their response.
"Thanks for your inquiry.
Panasonic, Nikon and Canon have not published any specifications about their new mounts. So at the moment, it is not possible to know if any 3rd party manufacturer will be allowed to make lenses with those mounts."
So it looks like not for now. I do hope this changes as the Loxia lens I do like, the Sony body's not so much.
What will be interesting is to see which if any of the more recent lens brands like 7Artisans, Venus optics or Laowa move to these mounts in time.
