Zeiss Loxia 50/2 review



Intro:
Zeiss brought to the market new line of lenses - Zeiss Loxia. Loxia lenses are specially developed for Sony E mount full frame cameras, such as Sony A7, A7r and A7s recently. Lenses could be of course used on any Sony E mount camera, including NEX and later APS-C models without limitation.
Zeiss Loxia are manual operated lenses with electronic transmission of data to the camera where they are recorded in EXIF. That is fairly unique in the recent lens offer for E-mounts, because all previously available lenses in the native E-mount where either fully manual without electronic contacts (Samyang e.g.) or fully electronic, where manual focus is so called - by wire, electronically coupled with the AF motor.
To be precise, there are on the market option to use Canon EF lenses in a full manual focus mode (with smart EF/E mount adapters), but aperture is controlled electronically only, or to use manual aperture but with focus by wire (Smart Contax G to E mount adapter). In both cases, EXIF will record most important data.
