ZEISS Announces Loxia Line of Lenses for Full-Frame E-Mount Cameras
Owners of the Sony full-frame E-Mount a7, a7R and a7S cameras have a good reason to be smiling. ZEISS just announced two new Loxia lenses which are designed to fit to their successful manual-focus lense family.
The Loxia 35mm f/2 and 50mm f/2 are both weather sealed and come with tools allowing you to mechanically ‘de-click’ the aperture for filmmaking purposes. Both lenses are designed electronically to work with Sony’s latest a7 lineup on focus and EXIF data on the camera, allowing you to recognize focus movements so you can use the camera’s magnifier function.
“These lenses have been designed for photographers who enjoy shooting spontaneous scenes”, says Casenave in a ZEISS blog post, “but without giving away the work of composing the image to the camera.”
