First Choice For Mountain Landscapes

This is the my first choice go to lens for the A7C body, when hiking and exploring in the mountains. Image quality has been excellent. Very solid feel. Some may not like the manual focus for a lens on a modern digital camera. However, I have a lot of experience from decades ago with cameras that used film. I can look at the depth of field scale on the lens and decide where I want that depth of field in my picture. Highly recommend this lens. Typically, in the mountains, F/8 gives me the depth of field that I want, as well as very fine sharpness across the field. The filter bundle that came with the purchase was very nice and I would recommend those filters as well.

Extraordinary Manual Focusing Wide Angle Lens

For those that want a wide angle lens that is manual focusing, then this one is highly recommended. Image quality certainly matches the reviews I have read. You can easily decide on the depth of field you want for a particular picture. The depth of field scale on the lens is very accurate in my assessment thus far. It has a tight feel to it. This is not a lightweight lens, compared to others of this focal length. However, for wide angle photography, where you need to know your depth of field, then this lens is highly recommended.

What sets the Zeiss Loxia 21mm f/2.8 Lens for Sony E apart is its exceptional image performance, despite its compact size. This super wide-angle lens delivers superior image quality across the entire field of a full-frame sensor. It's an ideal choice for capturing architecture, landscapes, or three-dimensional subjects in close-up against a spacious background.

This lens is a valuable addition to the Loxia lens family, offering a large image angle that is perfect for wide-angle photography enthusiasts who aim to capture every minute detail of special moments. Specifically designed for Sony Alpha 7 cameras, the Zeiss Loxia lenses maximize the benefits of the mirrorless, full-frame system, while offering the creative possibilities of traditional photography with manual focus.

The Zeiss Loxia 21mm f/2.8 Lens also caters to videographers with its unique DeClick feature, which allows for smooth adjustment of the aperture, eliminating unwanted brightness differences during panning. This feature can also be adapted to other video systems of suitable size.

The lens boasts a precise manual focus, providing control over the image result right at your fingertips. The large rotation angle, high-quality focusing mechanism, and precise engraving in meter and feet, along with the depth of focus scale, all contribute to the ease of manual focusing.

The lens is designed with virtually distortion-free optics, ensuring straight lines are reproduced accurately, opening up new composition possibilities. The high-grade full-metal casing, metal focus and aperture rings, and robust front bayonet and filter screw guarantee durability and long-lasting photographic results. A special sealing ring on the bayonet also protects the interface between the camera and the lens.

Compatible with digital Sony Alpha cameras, the Zeiss Loxia 21mm f/2.8 Lens has been optimized for film and sensors up to full 35mm format (24 x 36mm), making it a versatile choice for both photography and videography.
