The Loxia 21mm will ship on March 9 at BHphoto. And this is one of the best FE lenses and definitely worht the long wait! DxOmark just tested the new Loxia and as you can see from the image above the new Loxia beats the already excellent Distagon 21mm f/2.8 lens for Nikon/Canon. DxO writes:
While it appears that Sony is intent on following Canon and Nikon with large and heavy high-speed designs, Zeiss has recognized that many adopters of the Sony A7 series are looking to concede lens speed in return for compact and lightweight models. Of course, you do tend to get what you pay for, and optical quality like this is never cheap, but then the Zeiss Loxia 21mm f2.8 is an outstanding performer and a near perfect match to the size and weight of the Sony A7 models.
