New Loxia tests (Digglloyd, Verybiglobo, DSLRmagazine, Kasayapa).

The Zeiss Loxia 50mm is now shipping in some countries (like in here in Germany) and first reviewers are testing it:

Diglloyd writes:

I now have the 35/2 and 50/2 Zeiss Loxia lenses in hand. From an ergonomics standpoint alone they are terrific, and these are the lenses I would choose as a Sony A7s/A7/A7R shooter for many purposes. The Loxia lenses are extremely well built, an entirely better feel in the hand than the plasticky Sony/Zeiss 35/2.8 and 55/1.8 designs.

Verybiglobo also tested the lens and writes:

While Sony FE 55/1.8 is optimized for high resolution and contrast at wide apertures, Loxia is rather oriented to smooth rendering wide open. But stopped down, to f/5.6 and smaller, Loxia probably even surpass Sonnar FE 55 in terms of sharpness. In fact, you have too lenses in one – nice portrait lens where due to some coma and bit of SA, you can notice characteristic bokeh and unique subject isolation, while stopped down it is great multipurpose and landscape lens.

Spanish DSLRmagazine (translation here) writes about the 50mm Loxia:

We can at least confirm that this Planar 50mm f/2 performs as well as expected, a nice optical use, simple in concept and convincing results.

There is also a Japanese Loxia 50mm review at Kasayapa (translation here). Overall the lens looks to be more interesting than expected. A great alternative of the 55mm FE if you want to focus…on manual focusing

Spanish Zeiss Otus review at DSLRmagzine.

Michael: “Now I can feel the Full-Frame on my APS-C camera SONY A6000 with Mitakon Speedmaster 50mm F/0.95. Full album @ http://goo.gl/x7wuJz

Pros:

- The build quality of lens is excellent, solid and HEAVY (in good way!)

- The box that made by leather do feel good too!

- The focus ring do turn smoothly.

- The aperture ring a bit hard to turn, but I personally take that as good to avoid change the aperture accidentally.

- Do feel nice on hand with the A6000 for the size and the look.

Cons:

- The plastic hood do feel “cheap” (just a little bit), therefore I get a metal one.

- The weight made it a bit hard to manual focus, because the hand must support the lens more than the body.“
