There is also a blue <strong>rubber gasket<\/strong> at the rear of the lens, albeit there is no E-mount camera body with true weather\/dust resistance available to date.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>focus ring<\/strong> has <strong>just the right resistance<\/strong> and it takes <strong>~180\u00b0 from infinity to 0.3 m<\/strong>. The<strong> aperture ring<\/strong> has <strong>third-of-a-stop click-stops<\/strong> and turns about <strong>120\u00b0<\/strong> which is a little more than I prefer as it takes quite some time to go from f\/2.0 to f\/11. One can also &#8220;de-click&#8221; the aperture ring to make it stepless which I think is mostly interesting for filming purposes.<\/p>\n<p>There are almost no non moving parts to grab to mount or unmount the lens, if this is something that may bother you have a look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-pocketpano-loxia-lens-grip\/\">Loxia Lens-Grip<\/a> from PocketPano.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>included hood is mostly made of metal,<\/strong> but sits not very tight. This may be a problem of this very sample, as I can&#8217;t assess by how many people this review unit has already been used.<br \/>\nThere is also <strong>another feature<\/strong>: when <strong>turning the focus ring<\/strong> the camera <strong>automatically zooms in<\/strong> but to be honest I found this behaviour to be slowing down my shooting (as I prefer to move the box first and then zoom in), so I turned it off in the camera menu.<\/p>\n<p>In the picture above I included the <strong>Zeiss ZM T*35 mm 2.0&nbsp; Biogon<\/strong>&nbsp; and one can already see how <strong>similar<\/strong> the <strong>dimensions<\/strong> are <strong>and<\/strong> how similar the <strong>front lens element<\/strong> looks. Turning the focusing ring from infinity to 0.7 m or the aperture ring from f\/2.0 to f\/22 both takes about 120\u00b0 with this M-mount lens.<\/p>\n<h1>Vignetting and colorcast<\/h1>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2796 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/vignetting_loxia35-1.jpg\" alt=\"vignetting_loxia35 sony a7 s pre cooked raw files\" width=\"800\" height=\"651\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/vignetting_loxia35-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/vignetting_loxia35-1-300x244.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/vignetting_loxia35-1-768x625.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Some of the <strong>vignetting is being already corrected within the RAW-files<\/strong>, take a look at our <a href=\"http:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/rolling-review-zeiss-loxia-distagon-2-821mm-t\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Loxia 21mm 2.8 review<\/a>, to read more about this.

The<strong> bokeh can be distracting at certain distances and is only smooth near the minimum focus distance<\/strong> and shows some <strong>minor outlining at f\/2.0 towards the edges<\/strong>. But bokeh is also a very subjective thing, so take a look at the examples and decided for yourself.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>The <strong>differences appear when taking a look at the corners<\/strong> of the frame: the <strong>ZM never gets really sharp in the corners<\/strong>, a problem it shares with many older Biogon designs on the a7 series (the Contax G 21mm and 28mm 2.8 come to mind here), whereas the<strong> Loxia has pretty even<\/strong> <strong>sharpness across the frame at f\/11<\/strong>. Unfortunately the lenses do share some negative aspects as well: the <strong>coma is pretty bad until f\/4.0<\/strong> and albeit the consideration of the thick filter stack in the optical formula there is <strong>still some field curvature<\/strong> left and so until f\/8.0 the extreme corners at infinity don&#8217;t look particularly good. The <strong>build quality<\/strong> on the other hand is <strong>top notch<\/strong> and rarely leaves something to be desired.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I really admire the boldness of Zeiss to release a line of manual focus lenses<\/strong> in a time where most people are merely talking about eye-autofocus, image stabilisation, fine tuning focus with USB docks and all the other bells and whistles found in some modern lenses. Keeping the <strong>same<\/strong> (small) <strong>filter diameter for the whole lineup<\/strong> is also something I really like. In case you read any of my other reviews on this blog you already know I don&#8217;t like fly by wire focus and I don&#8217;t care for mediocre corner performance at wider apertures in case a lens has<strong> nice bokeh<\/strong> at maximum aperture and is <strong>sharp across the whole frame at f\/11<\/strong> and produces <strong>nice sunstars<\/strong> which are all boxes that can be ticked here.<br \/>\nBut there is <strong>one problem<\/strong> I see here: <strong>this is a native E-mount lens<\/strong>, it carries the Zeiss brand name and a <strong>very high price<\/strong> tag so <strong>I would have expected better corner performance at wider apertures and better coma correction<\/strong>. Especially because of the fact that the Zeiss <strong>Loxia 21mm 2.8 and the two Batis lenses are such great performers<\/strong>.&nbsp; Another problem is the <strong>strong competition<\/strong>, there are no less than<strong> three native 35mm E-mount prime lenses<\/strong> (which <strong>all<\/strong> carry a<strong> Zeiss<\/strong> tag by the way) you can buy today, alongside a <strong>huge number of manual lenses<\/strong> which can be adapted (see the Alternatives section).<br \/>\n<strong>Designing a lens always means to compromise<\/strong> and when taking a look at the<strong> heritage of this lens<\/strong> &#8211; which lies <strong>in the film era<\/strong> &#8211; you see that the <strong>emphasis has shifted from aspects such as low distortion and low lateral chromatic aberrations<\/strong> (which can nowadays easily be corrected in post) <strong>towards better corner sharpness and coma correction at wider apertures<\/strong> in completely new designs (I think of the 21 mm 2.8 Loxia or the Sony FE 28 mm 2.0 here for example).<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, who is this lens for?<\/strong> Anyone, who looks for a <strong>small yet native 35 mm E-mount lens<\/strong> with <strong>great build quality<\/strong> and transfer of <strong>Exif information<\/strong> or who is <strong>primarily filming<\/strong> and can therefore make use of the &#8220;de-click&#8221; function of the aperture ring. <strong>In case you are looking for great across the frame sharpness at wider apertures or you are planning on using a 35 mm for astro landscape photography this is probably not the right lens for you<\/strong>. I have to admit though, <strong>stopped down contrast and sharpness are great, as are the sunstars<\/strong> and this lens yielded me some very nice images within the rather short period of time I had the chance to use it, but personally I think it is overpriced for what if offers.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Update<\/strong> 06\/05\/16:<\/em><br \/>\nDespite some of the technical shortcomings I have bought this lens myself now. In retrospective the photos I have taken with this lens have something about them I really like, I think it is best described as a very punchy micro contrast. Take into account most of my photos are taken stopped down, this was indeed the best (small) 35mm lens for my needs.<\/p>\n<p><em>The <strong>Loxia 35mm 2.0<\/strong> can be bought for
