Zeiss lenses are known for providing sharp and contrasty images with silky-smooth bokeh, making them favorites of a lot of photographers. For photographers looking for a 35mm lens, one option is the Zeiss Loxia 35mm f/2, and this great video review takes a look at the lens and the sort of performance and image quality you can expect from it in usage.
Coming to you from Christopher Frost, this excellent video review takes a look at the Zeiss Loxia 35mm f/2 lens. Based on the Biogon optical concept, this lens comes with some interesting features, including:
- All-metal lens barrel with weather-resistant construction
- Manual focus design
- One anomalous partial dispersion element for reduced chromatic aberrations and increased clarity
- Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating for reduced reflections and deeper contrast
- 180-degree focus ring throw with hard stops at infinity and minimum focusing distance
- Manual aperture ring with included declicking tool for video work
- Electronic interface for EXIF data and manual focus magnification
Altogether, the Loxia 35mm f/2 is certainly one of the more unique 35mm lenses out there, and while it is certainly not for everyone, it’s worth a look if you enjoy such renderings. Check out video above for Frost’s full thoughts on the lens.
