Zeiss Loxia 85mm f/2.4 Review at Photographyblog

Share

loxia

Photogrpahyblog tested the new Zeiss Loxia 85mm f/2.4:

The Zeiss Loxia 85mm f/2.4 is a pleasure to use, thanks to its superb weather-proof build quality and wide, smooth focusing ring. When manually focusing the Zeiss Loxia 85mm f/2.4 delivered a very high percentage of keepers thanks to the A7R II’s excellent magnification and peaking features. Vignetting is apparent when shooting wide-open at f/2.4, but quickly disappears as you stop down to f/5.6, while both chromatic aberrations and pin-cushion distortion are very well controlled.
There are a few drawbacks to the Zeiss Loxia 85mm f/2.4 lens, though. You obviously don’t get auto-focusing, the 80cm minimum focusing distance is a little restrictive, it’s larger and heavier than its main rivals, and the asking price of $1399 / £1199 / €1399 is a lot of money to pay for a manual focus prime lens.

The lens is set to start shipping right before Christmas at BHphoto, Amazon and Adorama. In Eu at Amazon.de.
