The Zeiss Loxia 2/50 ($949) is one of the first in a new series of manual focus lenses for Sony full-frame mirrorless cameras. The companies have collaborated on optics before, including the excellent autofocus Sonnar T* FE 55mm F1.8 ZA ($998.00 at Amazon) , another lens for full-frame Sony cameras. The Loxia is just as good from an optical standpoint, a little less expensive, and offers a much more pleasant manual focus experience. The Sonnar 55mm is one of our favorite lenses, and earned Editors' Choice honors when we reviewed it. The Loxia is every bit as good, and is also worthy of being called Editors' Choice.

Creamy Soft Bokeh; Durable Metallic Body; Extremely Sharp And Clear; high quality glass; Smooth focus ring

Price is high

All I can say is wow! From the moment I opened the box, I knew that Zeiss was in real earnest with this product. The packaging is stunning and similar to high price Leica lens packaging. It includes a signed document of inspection for the included serial numbered lens.

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present
