New Loxia 25mm lens reviews: “delivers stellar image quality”

Loxia preorders at BHphoto, Amazon and FocusCamera.

Photographyblog tested the new Loxia 25mm FE lens:

The Zeiss Loxia 25mm F2.4 is an exceptional wide-angle prime lens that delivers stellar image quality.
There’s only one real drawback to the Zeiss Loxia 25mm F2.4, and that’s the price-tag – €1299 / $1299 / £1189 makes the Zeiss Loxia 25mm F2.4 pretty expensive for a manual-fous lens, especially one that’s undercut by Zeiss’ own Batis 25mm f/2 lens, which is slightly faster and has auto-focusing too. But if you love the manual-focus only nature and the diminutive size of this lens, the Zeiss Loxia 25mm F2.4 is a superb wide-angle optic for full-frame E-Mount Sony owners.

Sony FE 400mm f/2.8 G-Master lens sneak peak by Patrick Murphy Racey

Patrick Murphy-Racey just gave us this sneak peak about the new Sony FE 400mm f/2.8 G-Master.

The only info we got from our sources is this:

1) Autofocus:
The Sony will focus “way faster” than the Canon 400mm and Nikon 400m lens. The reason is the new hardware tech used by the lens (new actuators and servo).

2) Lighter:
The new 400mm GM lens will be also lighter than the Canon/Nikon competition

Still no word on the possible pricing yet but the lens will be announced this summer and be available in September according to BHphoto.
