“Unboxing Zeiss Distagon Lens at SonyMirrorlessPro.”
Somehow, I doubt that actual professional photographers care about this silly unboxing crap…
No need to be a professional photographer to not care about it.
No news on the 90mm macro? That’s the one I am waiting for…
lots of reviews here, would be nice if dyxomark had more than previews.
The new Zeiss 35 1.4 Zm Distagon on the Sony A7s by Sean Cook (Steve Huff). => different lens.
No offence to Lens Rentals but their photos are so awful how is anyone supposed to draw any conclusions from their test other than it isn’t apparently much better than the f/2.8 for a casual snapshot lens in bad lighting. And I don’t think too many people would purchase it for that purpose. As a pro I can certainly learn nothing from those photos. It’s unfortunately too rare that lens testers are also good photographers.
Nice! New lenses get better and better. With shrinking market photography becomes privilege of few again.
Where is the A99ii rumored months ago?
There is a second part of the Zeiss distagon 35mm 1.4 ZM review that may be more helpful.

I also have a full set of portraits from a baby shoot using the Zeiss 35 ZM on the A7s on flickr, if you’re curious.

It is a wonderful lens in most scenarios.
Absolutely, their images make any lens look like crap.
For judging sharpness or flare resistance it is sufficient. I don’t think it was their intention to generate award-winning photos.
Interesting comparison by lensrentals. I found that the sonnar is excellent, but the vignetting has a magenta cast that is such an inconvenience to remove. Also, I find that I cannot manually outperform the AF in terms of accuracy on the A7R, even with the focus magnifier zoomed all the way – the shots with AF are usually focused better. Not sure if theres some kind of focus shift after it stops down or focus by wire issue. I don’t experience the same MF issues with A-mount lenses. Otherwise, that little lens is great!
I have to agree. While I don’t think sample photos need to be artistic, a little thought into them would be nice so you can get a better glimpse at the potential of the lens. Especially wide open since this is really what you’re paying for, for this specific lens.
