Zeiss Loxia 85mm f/2.4 Hands-On (Photokina 2016)
I already published Loxia 85/2.4 hands-on in the Photokina coverage article, but it deserves its dedicated space, so here it is, slightly reorganized and with some new content. I had a short interview with Mr. Cristophe Casenave, senior product manager in Zeiss and expert on weather sealing. VBL:Aren't you afraid that Batis and Loxia are…

Zeiss Loxia 85/2.4 introduced. We will try it on Photokina in a few days.
Today Zeiss officially announced new lens for its Loxia line, made exclusively for Sony E mount (for now). New lens occupies traditional portrait focal length and we hope to get hands on it at upcoming Photokina. While this is certainly interesting proposition, I have to admit that it makes me feel very old and confused.…
Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2 Review
During our reviews of Zeiss Loxia 21/2.8 and Zeiss Batis 18/2.8, we mentioned several times also Batis 25/2. It was about the time, to give it its own review space and to take a deeper look on its performance.

Large portion of our findings from already mentioned - 85mm review, can be simply copy pasted here, with exception of Milvus 55/1.4 bokeh, which does show some onion ring effect, because it have aspherical element in its…
Zeiss Loxia 21mm f/2.8, another good reason to go with Sony A7 cameras!
New Zeiss Loxia is here. Third in the line (just like in fairy tail, the third son is usually the winner :-)), but first to introduce new, original design. Loxia 21/2.8 is based on the Distagon construction and doesn't follow Zeiss ZM line like it was the case with Loxia 35/2 (Biogon) and 50/2 (Planar).…
