Featuring a compact form factor
well-suited for full-frame Sony E mount mirrorless cameras, the Loxia 21mm f/2.8 Lens from Zeiss is a wide-angle prime based on the Distagon
optical concept for a marked reduction in distortion as well as consistent,
even illumination and sharpness from edge to edge. The optical design also
incorporates four anomalous partial dispersion elements and one aspherical
element to control chromatic aberrations and increase overall clarity and color
accuracy. A Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating has also been applied to lens
elements to minimize lens flare and ghosting for greater contrast.
Loxia lenses are distinct in that they feature a
manual focus design that has been specifically tailored for use with electronic
viewfinders, and also feature a manual aperture ring that can be de-clicked for
silent operation; making them especially well-suited to filmmaking
applications. The all-metal lens barrel incorporates engraved focusing and
depth of field scales, and a 90° focus throw offers fine-tuned control over focusing
position as close as 9.8" away. Additionally, a weather-resistant gasket
is featured at the lens mount to protect the lens-camera interface from dust
and moisture.
·
Prime wide-angle lens is designed
specifically for full-frame E mount mirrorless cameras, however can also be
used on APS-C models where it will provide a 31.5mm equivalent focal length.
·
Bright f/2.8 maximum aperture permits
working in low-light conditions and also helps to maintain the compact overall
form factor of the lens.
·
Based on the Distagon optical concept,
this lens delivers virtually distortion-free performance that pairs well with
the broad angle of view.
·
Four anomalous partial dispersion
elements and one aspherical element combine to limit chromatic and spherical
aberrations for cleaner, sharper image quality.
·
Zeiss T* anti-reflective coatings have
been applied to each lens surface to help minimize reflections in order to
provide greater image clarity, contrast and color fidelity.
·
Manual focus design is accentuated by a
knurled metal focusing ring, 90° focus ring rotational angle, and engraved
depth of field and distance scale markings.
·
The manual aperture ring can be
mechanically 'de-clicked' for smooth, silent rotation throughout the aperture
range; making it ideal for video applications.
·
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.
·
An all-metal lens barrel is fitted with
a weather-resistant gasket at the lens mount to protect against moisture and
dust from reaching the image sensor or rear lens element.
