p.55 #2Zeiss Unveils the Loxia 21mm f/2.8
I'm now on my third copy, hopefully finally a good one. If not it's going to Zeiss for adjustment this time.
I consider it to be a musthave lens on the A7 cameras (if you like wide). BTW, I agree with Fred about it's starbursts. It's one of those things that sets this lens apart from many other wideangles.

Folks the Sigma test I did you may want to look at since I used the Loxia 21 when you run some tests to compare too. I have a very very good copy of the 21. If you want the Raws from that test let me know I will upload them. Give you something to compare against

Hi guys! I just picked up a Loxia 21mm f2.8 and so far absolutely love it! I was wondering if you guys use the Lee Filter Seven system with this lens. I am in the transition of getting rid of all my big lenses and start using smaller lenses like the Loxia.

I do use the Seven system with the Loxia 21/2.8. I have the Seven's big stopper, little stopper and a 3-stop.
The polarizer may vignette. I wish Lee would offer a square glass polarizer for the Seven.

You know that you cant use the normal (4") big and little stopper with the Seven system?

The whole point of the Lee Seven5 is getting smaller filters. So, you have to use their 3" width filters instead of the 4".

I also use the Lee Seven 5 filters, great compact system. It's a lot smaller than their regular 100mm filter system which I also have.

I'm seriously tempted to enter the Loxia 21mm lottery soon! I hope Zeiss make a 15mm Loxia, that would be a dream come true!
