ZEISS Loxia 35mm f/2 Lens | Sony E-Mount

The ZEISS Loxia 35mm f/2 seamlessly combines traditional craftsmanship with a design optimized for digital use, making it a compact wide-angle prime lens tailored for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. Featuring a nearly symmetrical optical configuration inspired by the Biogon design, this lens includes one element crafted from anomalous partial dispersion glass, effectively minimizing chromatic aberrations and distortion to enhance clarity and sharpness. Furthermore, an advanced ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating has been applied to significantly mitigate ghosting and lens flare, thereby improving contrast and color accuracy.

The Loxia series is notable for its manual focus functionality and a manual aperture ring that can be de-clicked for silent adjustments, rendering them particularly advantageous for filmmakers. These lenses are also recognized for their compact size and robust all-metal construction, which features engraved scales for focusing and depth of field, allowing for precise control. Additionally, the lens body is designed to be dust- and moisture-resistant, enabling its use in challenging conditions.

• Wide-angle prime is designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, however can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 52.5mm equivalent focal length
• Bright f/2 aperture helps to achieve a more compact, portable form factor while also remaining versatile for use in a variety of lighting conditions.
• Biogon optical concept benefits the wide-angle focal length by helping to virtually eliminate distortion for clean, realistic rendering.
• One anomalous partial dispersion element is used to significantly reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations for increased clarity and color fidelity.
• ZEISS T* anti-reflective coating has been applied to each lens surface to help minimize reflections and provide greater contrast and color fidelity.
• Manual focus design is benefitted by focusing and depth of field scales along with a 180 focus ring rotational angle and hard stops at both infinity and minimum focusing positions.
• Manual aperture ring has clicked indicators throughout aperture range. Using the included De-Click Tool, this ring can be mechanically ‘de-clicked’ for smooth, silent rotation throughout the aperture range; making it ideal for video applications.
• Weather-resistant construction includes internal seals to guard against dust and moisture as well as a blue sealing ring at the lens mount to protect the lens-camera interface.
• The lens mount is fitted with an electronic interface that conveys all lens Exif data to the camera and can also be configured to automatically activate the camera’s focusing magnification function when turning the focus ring.
