Any Loxia owners here? If so is the draw of the Sonnar that different? I have streamlined over the years. From a bag of zooms and heavy 1.4s to a 50 and 21.
yes, very different. the loxia is basically a revised zm 50/2 and those two lenses have pretty much as close as you can come to the opposite look as the zm 50/1.5.

+1
This is what makes the ZM 50/1.5 C Sonnar so special

I really hope you're right about this. And I really hope it's a Sonnar f/2.

I think it will be f/2.5 or f/2.8 but let's see.

I'm hoping it's f 2.8-4; a loxia for me is a compact landscape lens. The slower the better - and the better the better. Make it slow, throw the kitchen sink at it for performance, and you should be able to get the lens better than which cannot be conceived...

We already have the fantastic 85/4 ZM for that.

Is that the FE/ZA ? You can probably snag a used 50C and 35C Biogon for that.. uscmatt already said it was the next 'cool kid' lens, so at least you'll be ahead of the curve on that one..

Yep; and I'm hoping for basically an even more fantastic re-design!
Especially as TAP is making me re-think anything faster. Why would I want a Loxia 85 at f 2.8 however compact when I might want to press it into portrait service on trips, when something in M mount could go on TAP!

Yes. To me it's the best corrected highest resolving 50 you can buy. Never used the hood. I want more character . Worst case I'll buy it again latter

I was wondering if any of you chaps were saving your pennies for the sure to come Sony announcements. Not sure if camera goodies will be announced during tomorrow's press conference or in a month or so. Either way, I expect a few camera announcements from Sony and probably new lenses from Zeiss both Batis and Loxia. Wouldn't be surprised if there is a GM 16-35 F2.8 in there too. Stay tuned My bet is in a 16-35GM and Loxia 85.
I was thinking Loxia 85 too. 21/35/50/85 makes for a very nice kit. With the new Milvus 135/2 announcement I'm also expecting a 135/2 Batis. 18/25/85/135 might also leave room for a Batis 50 ?

Sony has a press conference on the 9th. I got a feeling watching them raise the price of the RXr1 II they way they did it was to halt sales for a new body and the 42mpx sensor given the earthquake was replaced with a new sensor for a new camera. Thats my thinking and i could be completely dead wrong. But i think a new body is being announced soon hereI was thinking Loxia 85 too. 21/35/50/85 makes for a very nice kit.

This one . I bought it before I left NY late July from B&H . I never used the hood or front caps. Box everything. Full review here in Sony forum that Fred started. It's absolutely the best 50 I ever shot but I'm not the biggest 50 guy and my use would be the grandkids and people stuff so I think the ZM 50 maybe better for me . I have the GM 85 and 24-70 GM surrounding it so I can really get by.
