Zeiss Loxia 35mm F2 Prime Lens: SONY E MOUNT DA1138



Zeiss Loxia 35mm F2 E Mount Lens


The Leica 35mm f2 lens joins the new Loxia range of manual focus lenses and is designed for use with full-frame CSCs using the Sony E-mount, such as the Sony A7 series. The main feature of the Loxia series is the ability to deactivate the ‘click’ of the aperture ring by turning a screw on the lens mount (tool supplied to enable this), this will appeal to enthusiasts who want to capture stills and videos. This lens is ideal for travel, reportage, street photography, landscapes, portraiture, video work and any situation where you want to bring out the subject against its environment.

Zeiss Loxia 2/35 - The subtle reporter


The Zeiss Loxia 2/35 offers an extended field of view. This makes it the first choice for showing a subject in their environment or establishing connections between people. Like in reportage or street photography, for example. That’s what makes it the most important focal length for the genre in compact 35mm cameras. At the same time, the small size and weight of this camera system allows for a great deal of independence and discretion when it comes to photographing your subjects. And precise, manual focus gives you all the creative possibilities you need to tell the story in your own personal way.


Zeiss Loxia lenses were specifically designed for Sony a7 cameras. This means that they can make the most of the mirrorless, full frame system, while giving you all the creative possibilities of 'classic' photography with manual focus at the same time.


And that’s not all: Zeiss Loxia lenses also provide everything you need to shoot high quality video, such as the unique DeClick feature for smooth adjustment of the aperture, for example.


DeClick feature


One completely new feature of the Loxia lens is that you can ‘declick’ the aperture’s locking mechanism using a tool (supplied) and an adjustment screw on the bayonet surface. This means that for video applications, you can smoothly eliminate any unwanted differences in brightness as you pan the camera. This feature can also be used with other video systems whose size makes them suitable for adaption.


Precise manual focus


Manually focusing a lens means controlling the image result from your fingertips. A good ergonomic design makes all the difference. Zeiss lenses stand out with their large rotation angle which enables precise focusing. Changes are immediately visible in the viewfinder. The high-quality focusing mechanism moves smoothly without play, thus also supporting the intuitive interaction with the focal plane. The precise engraving in meter and feet, and the depth of focus scale provide additional support for manually focusing.


Virtually distortion-free optics


Dramatic perspectives and a view from extraordinary image angles - Zeiss lenses open up new composition possibilities. Distortion would disrupt the composition because straight lines, whose image does not go through the image center, would be reproduced with a curved shape. This annoying effect is accordingly and largely compensated through elaborate optical designs at all focal lengths.


High-grade full-metal casing


Tangible quality that holds its value is what qualifies Zeiss lenses for decades of hard use. A precision-engineered full-metal casing, grippy focus and aperture rings made of metal, and a tough front bayonet and filter screw guarantee stunning photographic results. A special sealing ring on the bayonet also protects the interface between the camera and the lens.


Full frame compatible


Zeiss lenses are suitable for digital Sony Alpha cameras and have been optimized for film and sensors up to full 35 mm format (24 x 36 mm).
