Mirrorlessons reviewed the new [shoplink 44222]Loxia 21mm f/2.8 lens[/shoplink] and writes:
The Loxia 2.8/21 delivers exactly what you’d expect from a Zeiss lens. It is sharp at the centre, sharp in the corners, handles flare like a pro, and doesn’t show any relevant traces of CA. There is some slight vignetting at f/2.8 but it can be easily corrected with any software. As such, it doesn’t really qualify as a negative point since it happens with almost every wide angle lens. The only thing I couldn’t test because of the bad weather was coma aberration for astro images.
Of course, we could also talk about the price. This lens is not cheap by any means but if you look at the entire Zeiss catalogue, you will find that it fits in the usual price range applied to this type of lens. The Milvus lenses or old classic ZF/ZE versions are actually more expensive. So yes, the price is high but the lens delivers exactly what it promises.

The X-PRO 2 announcement was the big news of the week. Just a small curiosity: The X-PRO 2 image film has been shot with the Sony A7sII:
Now if we could somehow mix both companies expertise into one camera. That would be something or not?

Gareth: “Hi, it’s clearly not fully developed & released yet, but the new Wireless Trigger ” Air R” that works with the Nissin Air Commander has appeared on the Nissin site. This will allow users to add other flashes (including the fantastically compact i40) to the Air Commander control system. http://www.nissindigital.com/air_r.html One of the few affordable native hot-shoe compatible systems. Much more affordable than Sony of Phottix flash.”
Joe: “I just dumped a trove of APS-C E mount zoom test shots onto my blog, along with a bit of commentary:
