Zeiss Loxia 85mm f/2.4 Lens For Sony E Mount
The fixed focal length Zeiss Loxia lenses are specially designed for use with the high resolution full format sensors of the Sony3 cameras with E-Mount. The MF lenses are matched in size and weight to the compact bodyshells without any limitations with regard to imaging performance. The unique De-Click function enables videographers to adjust the aperture steplessly and silently. Focusing is also extremely smooth and precise. The Zeiss Loxia 2.4/85 offers a moderate telephoto focal length and outstanding uniform imaging performance throughout the entire field of view. It delivers the benefits of a telephoto lens while maintaining the relative compactness that is one of the strengths of Sony's mirrorless system - while maintaining high performance. With its ability to isolate the main subject from the background, the lens is perfect for portrait photography and videography. With a beautiful, delicate Bokeh it distinguishes your pictures by a natural depth effect. In street photography, it brings the action closer to you and landscape photographers can direct their attention to details - with images that are pin sharp from edge to edge.

I bought this lens a couple of years ago and unfortunately its been sitting on my bench due to the iris blades coming loose inside the lens. The lens wasn't dropped, it must have happened while being transported in my lens case perhaps by rough handling by the airlines? I've been holding off on getting it repaired since I don't want to spend half the price of the lens on the repair (based on estimates) I've been using the Sony 85mm 1.4 GM lens in it's place. Needless to say I was very disappointed to have a Zeiss lens fall apart like this!

I needed a longer focal length lens for medium-close-up shots. I am using this lens on a SONY FX9 for Cine' work. This lens has a really nice look, very sharp and no CA. My only complaint; I wish it had a lower minimum aperture for lower light and shallow(er) DOF. At 2.4 out of focus light sources have the typical cat eye look but turns more octagonal at 2.8. Mechanically, what can you say - it's Zeiss. There's nothing like a solid constructed manual focus lens.

Photography is at best with this excellent lens, very sharp, beautiful micro contrast, Zeiss pop plus built like tank to last forever. Images are Zeiss Otus quality but in a small and more affordable package. Manual focus may not be for everyone in these days but Sony cameras make it very easy and results are wonderful. Regardless the F2.4 it produces a very nice bokeh. This is the best lens in my bag.

I expected good things from this lens, but was pleasantly surprised to see just how good it really is. I also have an Otus 85/1.4, which is truly superb, and this little Loxia compares favorably with it. No, it's not identical in quality (nor in wide-open aperture, of course), but one wouldn't expect it to be; however, it comes very close indeed. Even the rendering of the two lenses is quite similar. Size and weight are great for casual use and just walking around, and it easily fits into a small bag with the other Loxias. I look forward to seeing what Zeiss produces next in the Loxia line. I'm hoping for a 28mm!
This lens is an absolute gem. Optically it is outstanding with beautiful color, perfect contrast and only the slightest hint of chromatic aberration in the most extreme scenarios. I've used it for landscape and astro with great results, often taking it as a one lens solution on long hikes. ...I liked it so much I purchased it after my second rental.
I was initially skeptical about two things. The price of those lens as well as its performance wide open. This lens blew me away with its sharpness at 2.4mm. Virtually no distortion wide open. Super sharp across the spectrum. This lens is slightly larger and heavier then its siblings in the Loxia line, but the lines still balances well on the A7r2. I now own the entire Loxia line and am hoping that Zeiss expands this line to include a few more options. I would love a 15mm/2.8....would pre-order as soon as this option would become available. This lens is a keeper. Worth every cent.
I purchased the Loxia 85/2.4 to complete my set of 5 Loxia lenses. I find manual, prime lenses are ideal for landscapes and architecture. Autofocus is unreliable in terms of where to focus, and is unreliable where there is little contrast or detail. I have several 90'ish lenses, and the Loxia is by far the sharpest, and is sharp corner to corner even at the widest aperture. That meets a basic requirement for landscapes. Best of all, 5 lenses fit into a small belt pack that would barely hold a single pro-level zoom lens, and it takes three big zooms to cover the same range. In the photo, I compare three E-mount lenses, all purchased from B&H. The panels are at full resolution, from a small corner of the complete image.
Now, this isn't to say that all the Loxia's are not great (because they are), but this one stands a (literal) head above the rest. Standing at nearly twice the height of any of the others, it's huge and heavy (for a Loxia which are all very compact really). However, the size fixes the aperture ring issue. Where the focus ring and aperture ring are too close together. On the 85mil they are noticeably far enough apart so that you can tell which ring you are on more easily. Also, despite it's size and weight, I found it to be the perfect size and weight.IQ? Sharp as sharp can be with all the pop and colour Zeiss is known for. If you shoot portraits, get this one before any other in this focal range.
This is an absolutely fabulous lens. The build quality is superb and this works with my Sony AR7ii exceptionally well. The picture quality is superb as well. I also have a Leica Summicron and the photos from this are as good as if not better than the Leica sister. I also compared cropped images against the Leica Elmarit and Loxia is certainly better. I do not have Lecia APO or ASP lenses so I cannot comment on these.The lens is solid and heavy just as I like and the focusing aid is really very nice especially when used with Peaking.The only issue that I have with Loxia is that the aperture ring rotates in the opposite direction to the Leica M lenses. No a major issue but a bit annoying.A really nice lens with really excellent quality. I cannot wait to travel ... MoreThis is an absolutely fabulous lens.

Ive had this lens for two years - bought this in December of 2016. Its a lens I have mixed feelings about but would recommend anyone interested to give it a try.Pros:Very sharp across the frame starting at f2.4. Nothing more to say but this is top notch image quality here all around.Great bokeh - that sonnar rendering is smooth - similar to the 55mm f1.8. I compared it against the Sony 100mm f2.8 STF and decided that the STF lens didnt add anything cause the bokeh on the L85 was so good.Great look as with all Zeiss Loxia lensesMF: The MF experience feels great here - everything twists and turns the way it should.Cons:Size and weight: Significantly heavier and longer than all other Loxia lenses. This really impacts usability more so than the smaller ... MoreIve had this lens for two years - bought this in December of 2016.

This really impacts usability more so than the smaller Loxia lenses.Difficult to put on and remove - given the placement of the focus ring, the whole thing twists when you take it on and off.AF: This is obvious but all this focal length and with all the cons above, not having AF is a real limiter here.Alternatives:Ive considered replacing this with the Sony 85mm f1.8 to free up some cash and its a much more usable lens since the parts dont twist and move around as much and it has AF. However, I found the image quality unspectacular next to the Loxia especially the bokeh.The Sony 85mm f1.4 is probably the better choice with excellent bokeh, af and very sharp but its even heavier and larger.Sony 90mm f2.8: Great macro lens from what I can tell and its very sharp but on the size and weight dimension, it also scores poorly for me. The bokeh is also rather busy here. I found it sharp but unremarkable.Sony 100mm f2.8: This is probably what i would go for even with the downside of less light due to STF. Like the Loxia 85mm, it provides a nice smooth bokeh and is plenty sharp. I would probably get this lens if I didnt have the Loxia 85mm. The Loxia does collect more light.Net net, after looking at all the different options around this focal length, I still think the Loxia 85mm is the best option available and would recommend it. I would strongly consider the 85mm f1.8 as a budget option and Sony 100mm f2.8 if youre looking for something that differentiates your photography if not the Loxia.
