I have 2 of the Loxia line. The 25 and the 85. These photos have that look that I see in some of my photos. It's hard to put it to words, but it's different than Sony GM and Voightlander. Maybe it's the colors.

Gunzorro, that make me want to get the Loxia 35. Some real 3d going on there. Used it is pretty cheap too. What's your thought on the lens?

Thank you very much for your kind words, MARKFER!

I agree that the Loxia 35 is a great lens, although it is often not as appreciated as it should be. This was my first Loxia lens and professional Zeiss, following a few Zeiss Contax MMJ lenses (I really liked the 50/1.4, but adapter and no EXIF made it a drag). Immediately, I loved the Loxia 35's contrast and colors -- I even liked closer subjects wide open. I bought here on B&S board for around $800 used, compared to about $1200 new at the time.

The great images with the 35 compelled me to buy the Loxia 21 shortly thereafter, (again, here on B&S from member Grenache -- thanks again, Jim!). This is still one of the most spectacular lenses in my collection for landscape and buildings. I think that was about $1000 at the time -- well down from the "new" price of around $1600, IIRC.

Still smitten, I next purchased the Loxia 50, even though I don't often shoot "longer" lenses. For a long time, it didn't get much use, but in the last year or so I've come to really like it a lot and gotten some really great results wide open at f/2.0. Plus, my 2-shot panos widen its appeal to me, providing a more square-ish 30-35mm focal length. I think this one, as all my purchases, was from the B&S board here.

My most favored lens came next: Loxia 25. Not much to say -- it has all the best features and image quality for my needs.

Lastly, I couldn't resist the Loxia 85 at a terrific used price. Definitely not in my preferred focal range, but I got some amazing Autumn colors last year with incredible details. Also, I came around to taking 2 and 3-shot panos, bringing the focal length down to a more manageable 35-50mm range.

All Loxias are great, but the 35mm started it all for me, and I still love it. Although some criticize the 35, I never had a problem shooting it side-by-side with the Loxia 21 (the 21 arguably in the top level of Loxia imaging, along with the 25). All these Loxia lenses have a "familial look" and pretty distinct sunstars.

Also -- check into some of the Voigtlander lenses from Cosina. All the newer Sony E-mount models have electric contacts/EXIF and are outstanding optically. I own the 15/4.5E and 40/1.2E to flesh out my manual focus lenses for Sony.

The purple early blooms up on top, above, are extraordinary. The color, the way they look like they are coming off the screen. A great photo.
