Zeiss Loxia Lens Lineup
All ZEISS Loxia lenses (Sony E)
- ZEISS Distagon 2.8/21 T* (Zeiss loxia 2.8/21, 2015)
- ZEISS Distagon 2.4/25 T* (Zeiss loxia 2.4/25, 2018)
- ZEISS biogon 2/35 T* (Zeiss loxia 2/35, 2014)
- ZEISS planar 2/50 T* (Zeiss loxia 2/50, 2014)
- ZEISS Sonar 2.4/85 T* (Zeiss loxia 2.4/85, 2016)
The line includes only 5 models, which are designed for Sony E/FE mount full-frame mirrorless cameras.
All lenses are manual (manual focus only), but there are microprocessor contacts that allow automatic iris control and shaping EXIF, and you can also set the area of the frame to automatically enlarge when the focus ring is rotated.
On the bayonet side, each lens has a special groove that allows you to use a special tool to adjust the aperture control ring for smooth operation, or for operation with clicks.
All Zeiss Loxia have a front filter diameter of 52mm (even the ultra-wide Zeiss Loxia 2.8/21) and relatively small size.
The Zeiss Loxia series has not had any updates for a long time, most likely this line has already been completed and will not be developed.

35/2 and 50/2 are adaptations of the “old” ZM lenses (2004) with minimal changes to the new filter stack. Moreover, 50/2 is, apparently, the last Planar 6/4 from a major manufacturer.
21, 25 and 85 are new developments.
In terms of the ratio of dimensions and quality, the pictures 21, 25 and 85 are extremely good. But if the dimensions are not important, then there is not much point in this line.
