(SR5) The Zeiss Loxia 21mm f/2.8 has a Distagon design!
[/shoplink]
Good news folks! I just learned from a trusted sources that unlike the other Loxia lenses the new 21mm Loxia is not going to be a modified version of the current [shoplink 9804 ebay]ZM T* 2,8/21 Biogon lens[/shoplink]. Zeiss decided to make a real new design of the lens specifically made for E-mount:
- The lens has a Distagon and not a Biogon design. Just like the new Milvus 21mm lens.
- The lens has a 11 elements and nine group design (Milvus has 16 elements and 13 group design).
- The lens has high resolution on all the frame with low distortion and color fringing and appealing bokeh
- The lens will ship in December
You can follow the live blogging of the announcement tomorrow here on SonyAlphaRumors (Monday October 12 at 11am Berlin time).
UPDATE:

In USA at BHphoto.
