Zeiss Loxia 50mm Planar on Sony A7r


Berlin Backstage was lucky enough to test out the new Carl Zeiss Loxia 50mm f/2 Planar lens before the Photokina 2014 official release. Here are a points we extracted from their review titled "Blau trifft Orange," translated blue meets orange.
  • 180° of focus ring movement for gentle, precise focus.
  • Aperture ring can be de-clicked for videographers with a supplied de-click tool.
  • Feels similar to the Zeiss 50mm ZM Planar lens.  The Loxia 2/50 is a massaged ZM Planar design for the Sony A7 series.
  • The f/2.0 maximum aperture keeps the lens small which is a good compromise.
  • The Loxia is a manual aperture lens, not electronic controlled.
  • It provides Exif data to the camera.
  • The lens hood can be mounted in reverse without blocking the focusing ring.
  • Ten aperture blades for buttery soft bokeh.
  • Important points for the reviewer: feel, color, contrast.
See the sample images from the Loxia 50mm on the A7r from Berlin Backstage below.
