Diglloyd: Zeiss 35mm ZM Rendering Style Sets New Benchmark. But doesn’t work well on the A7.


Digglloyd is the first reviewer that has tested the new Zeiss ZM 35mm f/1.4 lens and writes:



It is unequivocally the star of the ZM lineup. In terms of operational excellence, I rank it above all my Leica M lenses.” And “Rendering Style Sets New Benchmark”.



But there is also a bad news:



but what a pity that the thick sensor cover glass of Sony A7-family cameras degrades its ultra high grade performance via ray angle (as with all wide angle M lenses).



I do hope Zeiss will release an optimized “Loxia” version of this lens in 2015!

World Sight Day 20 to 30 minutes - just the time some people take for breakfast...

World Sight Day



20 to 30 minutes - just the time some people take for breakfast - can bring light into the darkness of visually impaired people: this is the time a cataract surgery takes.



Here are a few more facts of the World Sight Day:

* Worldwide, about 40 million people are blind

* Every fourth person, a total of around 285 million people, have a moderate or severe visual impairment

* Each year, 1-2 million people go blind



This year, the 'Call to Action' for World Sight Day is “No more Avoidable Blindness”: about 80% of visual impairment could be avoided.

A little help for Zeiss: These should be your next FE Loxia lenses coming in 2015 :)


I am sure Zeiss will release many more new Loxia FE lenses in 2015. Now let us help them to decide which one they should release first! Let’s guess for a moment that they will base their new Loxia lenses on the ZM lens design. Here are all of them:

Distagon T* 2,8/15 ZM (Click here to see price on eBay).

Distagon T* 4/18 ZM (Click here to see price on eBay).

Biogon T* 2,8/21 ZM (Click here to see price on eBay).

C Biogon T* 4,5/21 ZM (Click here to see price on eBay).

Biogon T* 2,8/25 ZM (Click here to see price on eBay).

Biogon T* 2,8/28 ZM (Click here to see price on eBay).

Distagon T* 1,4/35 ZM (brand new here at BHphoto)

C Biogon T* 2,8/35 ZM (Click here to see price on eBay).

C Sonnar T* 1,5/50 ZM (Click here to see price on eBay).

Sonnar T* 2/85 ZM (Click here to see price on eBay).

Tele-Tessar T* 4/85 ZM (Click here to see price on eBay).


Now, the question is, which three ZM lenses should they make first in a proper “Loxia” version?


Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

Hope Zeiss will listen to you!!!
