Zeiss Loxia 21mm f/2.8 review by Admiringlight:

The Loxia 21mm f/2.8 Distagon is a lens truly worthy of the Zeiss name. They managed to create a compact lens that performs brilliantly through almost all aspects of imaging. Images show outstanding sharpness and stunning color and contrast, producing that signature Zeiss ‘pop’ in spades. Even the bokeh is fairly nice. While the lens handles well and has outstanding manual focus damping, I did feel that the close proximity of the aperture and focus rings caused some issues in the field, but overall, there’s really nothing to complain about. Zeiss has crafted a simply outstanding ultra-wide here.

Photochirp also tested the lens:

The Zeiss Loxia 21mm f/2.8 lens is more comfortable to hold than the Zeiss Loxia 50mm f/2.0, and in pictures, you wouldn’t think so. The lens isn’t much longer, but it is long enough to be comfortable.  I have taken a photograph of a wall covered in wallpaper, and this shows the lens is sharp throughout the frame. The colours, from what I can tell, are superior to the Sony lenses I own.
