I have the Loxia 28mm f/2.8. It is a sharp lens with great construction quality. I like that the Loxia 85mm f/2.8. It looks fantastic and I like that it is relatively small. It must be excellent for portraits. As you mention the inbody stabilization of latest Sony α series cameras is very beneficial with such lenses. I am looking forward to buy a new Zeiss Loxia lens.
Love the video lots of good infomation but the best thing I got out of this is you're a believer in Jesus Christ. Love it Dustin :) keep up the great work buddy.
Dustin great review again, I love how in-depth you go with the lenses. I read the review on your website as well and you were writing about the resolution and color rendition about this lens. My question is, does the same color rendition and resolution shared on all the loxia line up
Great job with this review series, as always. I appreciate that your reviews are both concise and thorough. Do you plan to do the Voigtländer 110 F2.5 anytime soon?
Hmmmm. Can't decide between Zeiss 85mm Loxia or Voigtlander 110mm. Know focal lengths are different. Zeiss 50mm Loxia is great. Know on lens can't be all things to all. Kinda think the Zeiss is the overall just better. Sharpness, colors and 3d pop. Any ideas?? I use Sony.
I kind of feel that this particular review is not needed, because if it's good, it should be, if it's bad, then ... that's not possible. I mean, most fast 85s are good, and every company can make a nice 85 when it's as slow as 2.4.
That may well be, but most of us like a review to verify whether or not that is true. BTW, not all 85mm lenses are created equal. There's a lot of variation.
Great lens for sharpness and colors, but very over corrected ,it reduces its sonnar character as seen in the true sonnar produced a couple decades ago.
Perhaps, but a lot of people like to do both, and these lenses are really small. That being said, it's possible that Zeiss agrees with you, as they seem to be solely focused on cine lenses at this point
Great review and images, the short video was excellent. Thank you for the effort and care you put into these reviews.
Thanks for noticing, Carl!
With the introduction today of the new A7 CII & 7 CR, this review becomes relevant for photographers looking for gear size reduction! Thanks DB.
That's true.
Beautiful morning routine sequence
Thank you!

The Loxia lenses are beautiful glass.
really superb images, that lens has got some wonderful color and contrast.
It really does.

That I definitely am!

Same color rendition, though the contrast is higher with this lens.
Thank you Mr Abbott

I do plan to cover it, but probably not soon. I'm already scheduled through May as it is. I've got so many demands on my time.
Thanks a lot for the review.
My pleasure.
Spectacular lens.
It is that, Orio.
For a small telephoto lens I use the Nikon E series 100mm f/2.8 adapted to Sony body is smaller than this loxia and also 52mm filter size
Interesting.

Do you need the macro component? I haven't yet tested the Voigtlander 110, but the 65 is excellent (I own it).
Great film!
Thank you.
great!!!!! thank you

In the bokeh “edginess” do u ever soften in post?
Very rarely...and definitely not with this lens. It's not that bad.
Dustin Abbott
Ok
Curious
I find now that im printing my shooting has changed and post is actually more important than prior to printing images
Great lens for sharpness and colors, but very over corrected ,it reduces its sonnar character as seen in the true sonnar produced a couple decades ago.
I guess that comes down to your priority. I though the lens produced pretty stunning results.
if u gonna get one of these, just get a cine lens
idk why u would bother with something like this for video work
