Importantly, it enables the camera’s Focus Magnification feature automatically via a twist of the focus ring (check out the video above).
#Leica 50mm summicron vs zeiss 35mm c biogon 2.8 manual
It is also a smart manual focus lens, in that it fully communicates with the A7, allowing for accurate aperture and exposure information. The key distinction here is that the Loxia is a manual focus lens based on the classic Zeiss Biogon 35mm f/2 rangefinder lens built for Leica. This is undoubtedly due to more glass, since the Loxia has 9 elements whereas the Sonnar has 7. In fact, it is heavier than the larger Sonnar 55mm f/1.8 (281g). And for reference, we have the spectacular Zeiss Sonnar T* 55mm f/1.8 on the right.Īt almost 3 times the weight of the Sonnar, the Loxia is beefy for such a small lens. In the middle, weighing in at a hefty 340g with a $1,299 price tag, is the brand new Zeiss Loxia T* 35mm f/2 Biogon. On the left, weighing in at a featherweight 120g with a $798 price tag, is the Zeiss Sonnar T* 35mm f/2.8. Zeiss Sonnar 35mm f/2.8 (left) Zeiss Loxia 35mm f/2 Biogon (center) Zeiss Sonnar 55mm f/1.8 (right). Though similar in size, the Loxia feels much heavier than the Sonnar 35mm. The Contenders & Their Specs All of these lenses are made from metal. This comparo will be broken into 5 rounds: However, the 35mm is also a secret weapon for fashion/portrait photographers like Terry Richardson or Annie Leibovitz. Leica has long had their famous range of 35mm Summiluxes and Summicrons for stree t photogs. Wide enough to capture subject within close proximity, not so wide that distortion becomes an issue or too many distractions are in the frame. The 35mm is an ideal focal length for street photographers. Who else gives you a space shuttle in a lens review? This lens shootout will feature a Blackbird spy plane, two beautiful models on Melrose Ave., and the Space Shuttle Endeavour. We don’t always do gear tests at iLHP but when we do, we go all out.
