Fails WP:GNG, but passes WP:MILL, and WP:ENN. — usernamekiran (talk)  13:40, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a catalog of every product which is offered for sale.  Most lenses and cameras which have been offered for sale in the last hundred years or so have had some reviews in photo magazines or more recently on websites. Coincidentally, those same magazines often received ad revenue from the makers of the products they reviewed and the websites which reviewed camera products  typically had "click to buy" or a "shopping" tab, making it questionable whether they are "independent."  This article's only ref is owned by Amazon and encourages the reader to  buy one at Amazon.Edison (talk) 02:14, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

A counter argument has been made at Articles for deletion/Zeiss Batis Sonnar T* 2.8/135mm. — usernamekiran (talk)  19:40, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete — WP:NOTDIRECTORY, WP:TOOSOON, borderline WP:ADVERT. May perhaps merit a mention in a more general article about the product family.  There are sites and magazines dedicated to such merchandise which will advertize every product, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia.  It should cover pioneering devices and technology but not catalog everything.  Think about what people will be looking for in an encyclopedia in 20 years from now; they will expect coverage of but the most notable products, those which pioneered innovations and influenced a generation.  This will also result in complete articles which have much to say rather than many stubs.  — Paleo  Neonate  - 15:25, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep per argument given at Articles for deletion/Zeiss Batis Sonnar T* 2.8/135mm. May elaborate further and more specifically, but the number of noms here is rather overwhelming and should probably have been bundled as the same argument applies to all. Samsara 13:10, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep This is appropriate to have an article about and easily notable. You have misunderstood the word independent. Being a separate, reliable publication IS independence. WP is not paper, and just because you don't like these, doesn't mean they don't belong. Pschemp (talk) 23:19, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
